Barry Adamson + Pan Sonic - Motorlab #3

The oddest thing about this release isn't the sounds featured on the disc itself, nor the rather "creepy" cover and artwork design (as said by many female friends), but rather the emotional reaction the listener (you and I) gets every time the recording is being heard. A very short CD (just around the 30 minute mark), made even more short by the fact that about 1/2 of the audio recording actually belongs to The Halfler Trio. I also feel I have to say the the second piece (stuck between the main track and that Halfler Trio mix) barely deserves the title of "piece" being but a few seconds long of human snoring. Still, if you can get passed the short duration of the disc (and the full price tag I had to cough up) it remains a very strange, dark, unsettling, and mostly disturbing audio sculpture, crafted with impressive precision from all parties involved, and performed even more spectacularly. Still, potential listeners must be warned that there is very little of that "typical" Panasonic sound present in this recording. If anything, that Halfler Trio mix sounds more like Panasonic than the original piece. An enignmatic release, open to interpretation, and not for everyone.
