“ a fine solo record... I'm pretty amazed by the number of ideas he's having here - he seems to fire off about six or seven good concepts per track ....What comes across is a massive
sense of 'scale', as though he were building a gigantic construct of music and sound to last as long as the pyramids ... perfect as a piece of delicate tapestry work .....nature lovers should be entranced...you can almost hear the sun shining on you”
Ed Pinsent – The Sound Projector
“....brilliantly edited into haunting slices of otherworldly sonic abstraction.
.....a series of well-executed and idiosyncrastic vignettes of abstract audio impressionism.
.....Highly recommended, and well worth seeking out.” -
One True Dead Angel
..... From tranquility to nightmare in a breath and back again.........
....leaves from a deeply personal audio diary yet the heavy, artistic sentiment and understated musical aspects (as well as quality sound production) provoke relaxation and contemplation worthy of any ambient / drone artist of the last decade... -
Freenoise
. a strange album that reveals its disparate layers only through a careful listening approach... -
Touching Extremes
It makes me feel submerged in a slightly reconfigured world. Which is obviously a good thing! -

You can order using PayPal via the website or drop me a message if you'd like to post a cheque etc.

NUMBER NONE: Finely polished sound clusters float like mist over an abandoned city park but before you know it that’s all been replaced by the somewhat scary feel of being stuck at the very same place in the middle of the night (Mats Gustafson) Visit: Number None MySpace

Acclaimed improviser and composer BILL THOMPSON follows recent collaborations with Mark Wastell and Keith Rowe with a solo set of dense mesmeric fuzz, penetrating stillness and delicate electronic lacerations. “elicits less of a listening experience than a physical reaction, with certain tones generating headaches and eye twitches, and others inspiring euphoric new sensations in body parts that usually have no relationship with sound.” (Resonance Magazine) http://www.billthompson.org/
