– General Description: Good electronic fun which they suggest “depends on the listener voluntarily submitting to some discomfort.” Their own description is amusing: “Cura (cure in English), suggests treatment, remedy, the process of restoration of a sick organism, an unbalanced being. If a recovery process exists, the question then lies in discovering the problem, the treatment for which may be found in searching for a balance that controls the interior of the organism or in the regulating processes that bring order to an installed chaos. Cura is a negation of such a problem; a negation of the negation that suppresses that which is strange to a healthy system. Cura is an act of healthy violence.”

– Track Reviews:
1. (4:41) Coronel - let the video game commence! upbeat, accelerating & raw
2. (6:17) Systema - sparkly & spooky with some twisting of blurred tones
3. (5:48) Kivi - low thumping, intense spy-on-the-move movie feel
4. **(4:21) Passaros - echoey, sliding with glimmers, fun thumps and crashes, like working in a mine
5. ***(3:00) Cavani - quieter, feels like being in a submarine, searching with boomerangs
6. (3:45) Ghilas - staccato with roving background sounds; mostly quiet after 3:20
7. **(5:00) Fobos - contemplative bell tones and spooky yawning sounds
8. ***(4:51) Ptomaine - like being in the lab on a spaceship, cage doors opening & closing & experiments
9. (4:38) Medusa - very quiet start that builds; pedal-point bass with exploratory sounds above; meditative
10. (4:50) Navegador - spaceship taking off, creepy
11. (4:45) Asteroide - like ping-pong between static machines
