Reviews & Discussion
This second release from Cyclobe is in my opinion better than the first one. They have developed their idea further and there seems to be more structure and coherence in the music. Electronics are here on the front, they are abstract but evocative. In a sense the feeling I get from the album is very Lovecraftian for some reason. The electronics remind me sometimes of Coil and sometimes of artists from the austrian Mego label. The acoustics instruments complement the electronics. Ossian Browns hurdy gurdy is especially interesting and manages to generate a very distinctive dronelike sound. One of the tracks has strings and the feeling of the song is almost Romantic with the strings laden with emotions, although the electronics crackle on the background adding a sinister feels to the track. Overall a fine release from Cyclobe, I am waiting for their upcoming release which should be a collaboration with Nurse With Wound.
