Currently living in Glasgow (Scotland), Richard Youngs is a highly versatile and experimental artist. He has been releasing and performing music since the early 80s, either solo or with a collaborator - and more recently as part of prog revivalists Ilk. His work ranges from the affecting Sapphie (a lament for his dog) to the strange humor of Lake (recorded over 3 days in 1990 with Simon Wickham-Smith). However, his recent high point must be his bass playing duties in concert with Jandek.

Making Paper is sort of similar, in that it's sombre, minimal instrument & voice stuff, only this time it's piano instead of guitar and not quite as cathartic.

Seems unfair to judge an artist with a huge discography on the basis of one album (I assume this is a reference to Autumn Response). Try Airs of the Ear or The Naive Shaman instead.

Same mistake as Darren22 for me :( if somebody wants to open a 100 signatures (committing to buy) petition... :)) Ultrahits is stunning, his most surprising work in a long time and in my personal top five both for Youngs' discography and 2009 albums.
