"This lp is an unique experience in pop music and sound. However the recording process of the album is holophonic (a technique that allows to reproduce the same hearing feeling you have in the real world); it is also a part of Burroughs heritage (due to extensively creative use of cut-ups this album marks a new start in music and art history, de-categorizing the boundaries that exist between them). Nocturne melodies, not so gothic but close of Joy Division's enegy flirts with beautifully recorded sequences of sound in motion, almost like a movie... the growls of a dog fading away in some misty melody of a far away brass. Remember Nico, coil and current 93 are not far neither. This is not only a great post-punk, pre-goth or post-industrial album. This is poetry, at the core of how poetry should look like in a post-modern, technological and inter-disciplinary world. To conclude this album may looks weird but it shall maybe change your way to perceive music, sound and even art (if your open of course, because if your the kind of person who prefers lineary stuff, not to be troubled or confused then run away!). One of my favorites definitely because it surfs with much more than standards."
