"Each track here takes a singular theme—a particularly nice series of
synth sounds, for instance, or an aurally pleasing set of strange
effects—and lets them play out until the theme is comprehensively dealt
with. Then it ends, and we’re on to the next piece. All in all, this
CD has the feel of a display cabinet filled with scientific curiosities
or a table of lab results more than an ‘album’ or collection of songs.
Each piece has its own interesting set of experimental rules which are
allowed to dictate each piece without frills, without ‘beginnings’,
‘endings’, ‘growth’, ‘codas’, or any fancy musical concepts like that,
and each piece is completely self-contained, clear, simple, unexplained,
and just about perfect."
