The Itself of Itself is the tenth studio album released by British musician, songwriter and producer Steven Wilson under the pseudonym Bass Communion.
According to Bass Communion's Bandcamp page, "The Itself Of Itself was selected from 10 years worth of recordings, the ones chosen being those that [Steven Wilson] felt added something a bit different to the catalogue. It's probably the most noisy and experimental Bass Communion album, but perhaps also the most carefully constructed since [he's] been messing about with these tracks on and off for the best part of a decade. Most tracks incorporate ‘unwanted’ analogue artefacts such as tape hiss, wow and flutter, static noise, and sonic break-up. One of the other main sound sources is [Wilson's] trusty mellotron, but made to sound like it's buried under layers of rust and dirt."[1]
