Survival Research present a reissue of Clara Mondshine's Visions Of Audio, originally released in 1987. The final instalment of the electronic fusion projects that Walter Bachauer concocted for Klaus Schulze's Innovative Communication label, Visions Of Audio delves further into minimalist musique concrete, extending themes developed on Memorymetropolis (1983) in drawing on non-European vocal chants, here applied in dissociative layers. The diverse, complex arrangements include the symphonic synths of "Promised Land" and the war-mode Sensurround of "1922 In Baku", as well as the obtuse loops of "The Final Ritual", the work inspiring future hitmaker Pilooski. Mondshine fans, Berlin School freaks, and abstract electronica lovers should bag it.
