    Original: Vital Weekly ( http://www.vitalweekly.net/1055.html )

    Zhelezobeton's label boss hides behind a musical project himself that is called Kryptogen
    Rundfunk, and while I found it hard to believe, 'Liquid Circuits' is only his second solo release,
    following '22.SZ', which was released in 2004 (see Vital Weekly 468). In the meantime he was
    active with working with other people, and sharing split releases with them, such as Hladna,
    Lunar Abyssm Neznamo, Umpio and Forgttn. I once saw one of his concerts and enjoyed his
    take of the notion of 'experimental ambient noise', which is a route he explores also on this
    new album. To that end he uses a bunch of bigger and smaller synthesizers, a guitar, record
    player, flute and found sounds, which all goes into a bunch of effects (all listed on the cover).
    Kryptogen Rundfunk plays seven pieces, all quite long and in some cases a bit too long. It's
    not difficult to see what he is aiming at, which is some kind of psychedelic ambience noise,
    but it very well happens that some of this is then a bit on the long side, I think. Which is a pity
    since it has everything I tend to like these days; the brutal harshness of those small synthesizers,
    abundant sound effects, but also the control over the sounds, and the way he holds down and
    makes something way more subdued. I think he's best at that, doing that variation 'loud' versus
    'soft' and the louder pieces should be trimmed down a bit; yes, loud can equal fun, but more so
    for the creator than the listener, I sometimes wonder. So while 'Collapse Of Neurotic Illusions'
    and 'Informancer' are not well spend on me, I very much enjoyed the other pieces, which made
    up some forty strong minutes of music. (FdW)
