Releasenotes:
For those who missed out on the now-legendary, highly sought-after (and highly
sold-out) box sets, we are now offering the four volumes of The Disintegration
Loops suite as separate, individually packaged albums. The audio was remastered
in 2012 from the original master tapes, and the artwork is packaged in deluxe
old-style tip-on gatefold jackets. For a collection of music built around the
poignant inevitability of decay, there has been a great many hopeful and
inspired words devoted to William Basinski's The Disintegration Loops: stunning,
ethereal, majestic, transfixing, life-affirmingà and for good reason. From its
20-year gestation period to its infamously fateful completion, The
Disintegration Loops is one of the most powerful manifestations of the
inevitable cycle of life ever committed to tape, even as it documents the
inevitable decay of all that is committed to tape. The very passage of time is
its most effective instrument. Not only lauded by The New York Times, The Wall
Street Journal, Pitchfork, NPR and dozens more, The Disintegration Loops have
become considered by many to be "one of the most pre-eminent American artistic
statements of the 21st Century."

is what it must sound like." - Pitchfork (10) Best New Reissue
"The most important minimal compositions of the past decade." - ARTINFO
"Stunning. This is vital music for the human condition." - NPR
