G-lude, a cello distortion rock-up performed by Martlew herself, contains explosive catharsis of shrieks, gasps, scrapes & howls, ghosting the architecture of Bach’s iconic G major prelude, on which it is based.

This is a really good record, not only the JACK's performance of the title work (written for them), but new interpretations of the others too. Rohan Dasika's Table of Knowledge is fantastic.
