2009 release. Guillermo Scott Herren (AKA Prefuse 73) is nothing if not proven. It is hard to think of a name that carries as much weight in both Hip Hop and Avant Rock circles as Prefuse 73. For Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian, Herren rejected the idea of straight digital recording. Instead, he went the much more intensive route of recording straight to analog Ampex tape, giving the album the sound of a lost tape of exploratory studio musicians from the not-to-distant past. In addition to the recording process, Ampexian also differs in it's composition, existing as a tapestry of tracks of varying lengths and moods, albeit with a remarkable linear flow and, of course, unmatched rhythmic bump.
