“The opening “Suggestion for a New National Anthem” is one of the finest drone pieces I’ve heard all year and about halfway through its eight minutes some field recordings are added to the mix, and suddenly it’s no longer a lulling drone cloud but sonic dust particles packed with dread. This shift is probably more in my head than on the actual CD but it makes sense given the duo’s predilection for going from sorrowful, but beautiful, soundscapes to noise both between and within tracks. At its most claustrophobic and harsh Urmerica is just as alien and frightening as Omit or even Sunroof! and given that you probably know that you’re in for some serious inter-dimensional exploration. No words can really prepare you for the sort of time-space suspension that’s created here but I know for a fact that any fan of damaged drones and murky noise would be a fool to walk this one by without giving it a spin. Highly recommended.” Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face

Includes exclusive tracks from Taurpis Tula (“Lonely Woman”), My Cat Is An Alien (“Alien Substratum 1.0/1.2”), The Skaters (“Fleeing Pavilions For Celestial Clouds”), Number None (“The Pole I’m Furthest From”) and Jim Haynes (“A Sense Of Levitation’). “Rebis is a new label out of Chicago run by the folks from the group, Number None, and this compilation is one of two new CD releases the imprint is offering up to kick off their existence. "Time & Relative Dimensions in Space" is a sprawling disc featuring long-form performances from a handful of Foxy Digitalis favourites: Number None, Jim Haynes, The Skaters, My Cat is an Alien, and Taurpis Tula. That's an impressive line-up, to say the least, but even more impressive is the quality performances each artist delivers… The combination of artists and track sequencing are near-perfect, and with the closing moments of "Lonely Woman," I am ready to press play again. Recommended.” Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
