"Presenting the first vinyl release of Dreamloops, a collection of long-form tracks that form a stunning two-and-a-half-hour suite over four LPs. The box set has been created, mixed, and designed by Dennis Huddleston, who, as 36 ('three-six'), is among the most celebrated electronic musicians operating today. Praised for his ability to imbue songs with strong, relatable undercurrents, Huddleston achieves a new level of subconscious connection with Dreamloops. First appearing in 2019 as a series of cassettes, Dreamloops was revisited by Huddleston in 2023 to bring newfound clarity, focus, and cohesion. There are eight pieces, each an 18:00 minute standalone self-contained work. In each song, time slows as an ensemble of sounds builds on themes and develops emotional power. Much like epic works such as The Sinking Of The Titanic by Gavin Bryars, LaMonte Young's Well-Tuned Piano, Daughters Of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings and Morton Feldman's String Quartet II, each fragment of Dreamloops culls developing melodies towards hauntological steps forward. Sound spectrums don't spread wide but instead focus on a precise musical statement, exploring its absolute potential. That said, Dreamloops does not exist in its own idealized sphere. Deep listening reveals tape hiss, oversaturation, wow and flutter, and similar imperfections. The fingerprints deepen part of these tracks' emotional impact. Henryk Gorecki's humanity meets Max Richter's sense of grandeur meets Deathprod's absolute sound mining, as Huddleston deftly maneuvers his songs toward momentous epic impact."
