FORTIETH DAY is the duo of ISIDRO REYES and MARK SOLOTROFF both key players in the power-electronics outfit BLOODYMINDED, a unit known for its confrontational live shows. Reyes and Solotroff show off their kinder, gentler side, using guitar, bass, and synth to improvise what BILL MEYER calls "sustained, withering blasts of high-pitched noise that are as distinct from one another as spotlights sweeping across the night sky; jackhammer clatter, jet-engine whines, and forlorn keyboard melodies dart in and out of those huge sounds with the grace and impunity of plovers picking a crocodile's teeth." Originally released on vinyl in an edition of 300 copies.
