Nickolas Mohanna ~ Phase Line
Nickolas Mohanna has operated in many fields, from drone to modern composition, but Phase Line is his wildest work to date. The album began as a sound installation, and includes the angular, manipulated output of “electronic billboards, kiosk stations and traffic control devices”.
