AMBIENT INDUSTRIAL

Instrumental mix of dark industrial ambiences, jazz, ethnic instruments and minimalist voice samples (reminiscent of the Anti Group).
As the band name hints, it all sounds like a therapy program, which climaxes in the last lament/song.
The same material appears in multiple places in the album, which makes a few of the songs somewhat redundant (such as 5 and 10).

Fred's picks: 4

01 - 08:55 - Vibraphone and processed wind instrument samples.
02 - 06:19 - Samples, jazz beat @ 2 minutes, garbled voices.
03 - 05:53 - Metallic ambient sounds, ethnic beat @ 3 minutes, voices.
04 - 05:14 - accoustic jazz beat, vibraphone, jazz electric guitar, ethnic instruments.
05 - 04:06 - Redundant: soundbed of song #2
06 - 00:34 - Experimental
07 - 01:39 - Synth pipe lead, reversed sound samples.
08 - 06:47 - Dark ambient synth, mid-speed jazz beat @ 2 minutes, rhythmic bass.
09 - 09:55 - Distorted of a Frehcn folk song, ambient synths, string instrument loop
10 - 06:09 - Redundant: another version of song #4
11 - 06:04 - Therapy climax: computer generated voice lament, organs.
