"After working on Talk Talk's "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock", Phill Brown teamed up with Dave Allinson (The Shy Reptiles, Sonishta) to produce 1998's "AV 1", a stunning and subtle exercise in formless ambient tranquility. The album's message was obvious from the start, with a huge opening track of near-silence and 20 minutes of slow, single-note song evolution before it decided to throw out its first beat. "Piano", the most interesting track, featured Talk Talk's Mark Hollis hidden under the B-side-inspired pseudonym John Cope and managed to be deliberate without being frustrating, unsettling but never futuristic, and, like much of the rest here, an enduringly eerie achievement".
