Review by Michael Cashman

Aspen Magazine No. 8 Fall Winter, featuring works by Jackson MacLow and La Monte Young, is a unique and engaging album that showcases the experimental and avant-garde nature of the two artists' works. The album features a range of tracks, including spoken word pieces, soundscapes, and experimental music compositions, all of which demonstrate the artists' innovative approach to sound and language.

MacLow's contributions to the album are particularly striking, with his spoken word pieces showcasing his interest in language and its potential for abstraction and experimentation. His use of repetition, fragmentation, and sound play creates a sense of disorientation and intrigue, drawing the listener into the strange and otherworldly landscapes he creates.

La Monte Young's contributions to the album are equally compelling, with his soundscapes and experimental music compositions evoking a sense of transcendence and spiritual exploration. His use of drones, sustained tones, and microtonal intervals create a sense of timelessness and expansiveness, inviting the listener to lose themselves in the hypnotic and meditative quality of his work.
