"Jon Fielder's astonishing Think is a portrayal of a descent into schizophrenia, based on the experience of a close friend. Each episode is more fragmented and confused than the last, from the overcharged anxiety of delusion to a shattered inner dystopia. After the midpoint of the piece, the nonsensical speech gives way to faraway wordless singing. Whether this transformation is an inner relief or a pharmacalogical snuffing-out is left for us to determine." - Kyle Bartlett (CD Insert Notes)
