The third point was easily the most powerful as I listened to the first three parts- however, once I arrived at the final installment of the series, things took a turn in the direction of self reflection. The only words I can use to describe it are commonplace in the world of its praise- masterful, thought-provoking, an interesting look at one of America's most tragic moments. And it really helped- my second listening got me through all four albums in one sitting. And once I learned of the recording technique Basinski used to make these long, ambient drones- I was even more intrigued. After doing a bit more research and learning this album's relevance to the September 11th attacks- it gave me a whole new perspective my second attempt at listening. 'Is this really it?' I said to myself, 'It's the same ten seconds just replayed over and over again?' I feel as though I was missing two key points during my first listen- one, I had just gotten into listening to ambient music at the time I found this collection, so I hadn't properly listened to the music for very long, and quite frankly, didn't even understand it. I'll admit it- the first time I listened to the Disintegration Loops, I was lost after nearly five minutes. Review Summary: The perfect ending to a perfect journey.
