SPB: What is the most thankless job in the music industry?
Ambarchi: One of the many thankless jobs would be working as the house sound engineer in a club.

When I hear this album I smell dust. It might not make sense to you, or to me for that matter, but it is what it is. Some albums, particularly in the ambient vein, take me to strange places that can be either outside or inside. Oren Ambarchi takes me to the attic that I haven't been up to in … Read more
