360 Business / 360 Bypass

re-issued in europe on kranky for the first time is mark nelson's second solo album under the moniker pan american. originally released on beggars banquet in 2000. '360 business / 360 bypass' expands the rhythmic intricacies of the debut and adds melodic input from guests alan sparhawk and mimi parker (low), cornetist rob mazurek (chicago underground / isotope 217) and the mixing expertise of casey rice (designer / super e.s.p. / tortoise engineer). the subtle coalescense of melody, rhythm and ambience flows at its own unhurried pace, hinting at dub, minimalist techno and jazz.
