"Before After" is the second album of the year by composer Marc Richter for Thrill Jockey. The album is a study in gurning dissonance and a perfect companion to the darker "Seven Horses For Seven Kings". Black To Comm masterfully manipulates sound, collapsing the past, present and future of recorded music into kaleidoscopic pieces that transcend genre, bristling with detail. The album charts a hallucinogenic journey through polar extremes of emotion and to the outer reaches of sound.
