Review by
Mar 20, 2008
It's one of those albums in which every track is a masterpiece, but, as said, its a real challenge to listen to. Kind of reminds me of Venetian Snares in its brooding and dark nature, except this music is much more slow paced, and this album is for the most part devoid of the normal breakbeat style. Not my favorite Future Sound of London release, that's for sure, but it's worth the money. Now, about that dark room idea...
Probably the least accessible piece of music I've ever listened to in my entire life. Completely devoid of anything resembling hooks or catchy elements, this record is a right challenge to listen to, let alone like. The sheer darkness and aural pandemonium contained on this album is so disturbing and intricate that I still can't get my head around it. Still, I think there's some real dynamite between the lines here if the listener just has the patience to keep on listening long enough. Good luck.
Possibly the most disturbed piece of work I have ever heard. I listened to this in its entirety in a darkened room. I don't think I ever fully recovered. I really don't like listening to this, it's very unnerving, it makes me paranoid and its just downright EVIL in places. A masterpiece, but a masterpiece I never want to hear again.
