Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian

VINYL FORMAT. Guillermo Scott Herren (aka Prefuse 73) is nothing if not proven. It is hard to think of a name that carries as much weight in both hip hop and avant rock circles as prefuse 73 who in the past year alone has been asked to remix TV on the Radio, Pelican, BLK JKS, and Cornelius, not to mention his early collaborations with School of Seven Bells and Battles.

These interactions have clearly helped to shape the evolving Prefuse 73 sonic aesthetic, which has expanded to include Herren's twisted visions of prog rock, machine funk, and global psychedelia.

For Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian, Herren rejected the idea of straight digital recording instead went the much more intensive route of recording straight to analog Ampex tape, giving the album the sound of a lost tape of exploratory studio musicians from the not-to-distant past. In addition to the recording process Ampexian also differs in its composition, existing as a tapestry of tracks of varying lengths and moods, albeit with a remarkable linear flow and of course unmatched rhythmic bump.
