Michael Wells' project, Greater Than One, brings the heavy and minimal drones to the Brainwashed 7" series. Playable at any speed, either side of the single weighs heavily on your eyelids. While the tones are gentle and subdued, the overall effect is nearly alien and unsettling. Swells of strings and subtle percussion fill out the second side a bit more than the flip, but the headspace is the same on both sides. Hypnotizing, not relaxing and nowhere near abrasive, this feels like music to be heard accompanying minimalist art in a clinically clean loft in 1975 Germany.
