Slider | Bruce Kaphan Temporary out of stock! Check back soon
Peter Buck of R.E.M. sums it up nicely when he wrote "This record is amazing!" Unlike many synthesized, pasteurized washes of sound that pass for ambient music, SLIDER not only delivers on psychic magic, but transports you to aural environments that are hauntingly beautiful - even spiritual at times - as well as completely unique and captivating. How does Kaphan do it? Instead of relying on Nashville stereotypes, Kaphan extensively re-imagines the pedal steel guitar, refracting the instrument's characteristic silvery liquid tone through a dynamic new harmonic vocabulary. His skillful arrangements, langorous soulful expressivity, and
wide-ranging stylistic compass is so impressive that SLIDER has been named a CDNow Top 10 Best Album of the Year.
