Featuring David Torn, Markus Reuter, Henry Kaiser, Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble.From Stephen Thelen>> "Fractal Guitar 2 remains one of my own favorite albums, not just for musical reasons, but also because it was such an enjoyable working experience in which many of my musician friends sent me file after file after file of amazing and spellbinding music. In the end, there were so many tracks that ultimately did not make it to the album, but were simply too good to just let go of. A good example ist Andi Pupato's Middle Eastern percussion track for my remix of 'Point of Inflection' which wasn't quite right for the main album, but set the stage for the very different vibe of the remix. Also, while preparing the mixes for Fractal Guitar 2, it became clear that the extensive material for this album had the potential to be remixed and remodeled in many different ways. Knowing that some of my friends were excellent and creative remixers, I reached out to see who would be compelled to re-imagine the pieces. A big thank you to Bill Laswell, Jah Wobble, David Torn and Barry Cleveland for their incredible remix skills and musical imagination. In an e-mail written after hearing Bill Laswell's remix, Barry wrote to me: "This is fascinating on multiple levels. A sort of master class, really ?Even King Tubby would raise his eyebrows at that schnizzle." Of course, he's right."
