BIRKE/LEYKAM/PANASENKO - Act on impulse
Frank Mark Arts, 2002

FUSION ROCK

The combination of instruments used on this album has a great potential: electric bass, sampled electronic drums, guitar synth loops and other samples.
The result is somewhat perplexing.
It doesn't sound good and it doesn't sound bad either. It is neither cold nor warm.
These musicians seem to be lost whithin the interstice of time and space.
It certainly is enigmatic...
