This
album opens with "Misericord" which is a rather odd instrumental that
has a middle Eastern vibe to it. It's constructed with bass guitar,keyboard,
drum beats, and samples. It's kind of messy and all over theplace. The
next song "The Cannibal Banquets" is a bit more dark and ambient with
a male and female spoken word. It basically just drags along at a repetitive
and boring pace. The third song "Alligator Pears" sounds exaclty the
same. It's a dark and dreary ambient spoken word track that drags along,
and is rather annoying. The fourth song "The Respectable Gentleman"
is an extremely messy and noisy instrumental track with a middle Eastern
vibe and samples scattered all throughout. The fifth song "A Brummal
Hare" is more of the same. It's just a noisy, scratchy, and messy instrumental
with different sounds just scattered everywhere. The sixth song "Sabbath"
lasts for a total of 42 seconds, and is basically just the sound of
water. The seventh song "Jackal" is a rather funky slow moving and dreary
ambient track with a male spoken word that is distorted. The eighth
track "Sansons Seraglio" is basically just a dark piano instrumental
with light female chanting in the background. The ninth song "Ne Me
Quitt Pas" is a dark and dreary ambient track that is noisy and has
male and female chanting. The tenth song which is not listed on the
back of the album is an exteremly dark, dreary, and mellow ambient French
spoken word I believe. This album features very experimental and artistic
music. But I personally don't see the appeal of it at all.
