Clear Stream Temple – XVI

There are lots of percussion and sound bites on this album. We are introduced to the album with an American news report hinting at what we are to expect throughout the album. “Age of Terror” has an interesting introduction leading into some programmed percussion – sounds good. “Pentagonium” offers some more “evil” to the album with some good choral samples and rhythms. The album is not dissimilar to “Arabian Knightmares” by Ure Thrall (Tesco Organisation) with similar themes and voice samples; although some of the vocal samples on this album have been carefully treated and cut up in an interesting way.

Imagine dark industrial ambient, ranging from spiritual floating to bombastic figures. Including several nationalistic anti-terror speeches from Mr. Bush. Very creepy!, and impressive.
