Main: Firmament III

What amazes me is that Main can go through three albums, all with the same
prefix title and incremented suffix. Robert Hampton even relentlessly titles
all of his tracks sequentially in Roman numerals. You can't be more eccentric
of a musician that that. On "Firmament III", the ultimate recluse musician
Paul Schutze provides samples for two tracks. This mildly distracts from the
sonically altered guitar drones that make up Main's music. With the exception
of the first tracks, the compositions are an epic length collection of drones,
washes, treated chords, and almost inaudible hums. Main must have graduated as
valedictorian at the Brian Eno school of Ambient music to be this good.
