The
material delivered here is not actually music, but what I like to call
sound art. It's various electronic and organic sounds, tribal drum beats
and keyboard melodies combined to create very mood driven soundscapes
that are both ambient and experimental. Everything here is very mellow
and slow paced with a dark and cold feel to it. These songs create atmosphere.
It is said in the notes contained in the CD booklet that the pieces
collected here span a period of fourteen years. Some of them were released
previously on obscure compilation albums and some have also been coaxed
from crumbling two and four track cassettes. Everything does sound equal
in recording quality and you really couldn't tell what is older and
what is newer material considering that it all seems to sound very similar.
Some tracks here are more straight forward with structure while others
are more experimental. But it's all very artistic and ambient. I personally
don't get anything from this kind of recording and actually find it
difficult to listen to. But if dreary, dark, cold, ambient experimental
sound art is your thing I have to admit that the material delivered
here is very well done for what it is.
