Remaking two of their out-of-print albums with the latest technology, Nadja abstract the ecstatic moments of shoegaze-- when pop became pow-- and dilate them into long meditations.

Skin Turns to Glass was only Aidan Baker's second album using the Nadja moniker, yet, despite the obviously nascent musical vision at hand (not to mention the fact it wasn't even originally released by a proper record company), it already reveals his astoundingly advanced grasp of recording techniques as a means for sculpting breathtakingly emotional material.
