A masterpiece! Treated sounds, cues to music concrete. In a few brief fragments there are echoes of some Hafler Trio productions (Mr. McKenzie is involved in the work). The sound is clamorously evocative, every discourse of ambient or postindustrial music becomes forgotten in the evolution and fragmentation of long silences and acid reverbs. Splendid acceleration of sound in crescendoes of volume and intensity, for an enormous aural and cerebral entreaty. Intelligently utilized noise interrupts the fluidity every so often. At around 30+ minutes there’s a magnificent electronic border that leaves you stunned… This CD is best heard in silence: a shame to disturb it with distracting noises or while walking home alone. Truly wonderful!
