Album Review

Reviewed 2002-10-22
These are all pretty similar sounding tracks, all instrumental, all revolving around a keyboard, sampler, and slight guitars. They’re all fairly long too and rarely change very much.
1.Atmospheric, lazy sounds: drum machine, droning keyboards, synthetic guitars.
2.Pretty indistinguishable from the one before it.
3.Dark, menacing, consisting almost entirely of electronic feedback.
4.Almost like a softer version of track 3, but with period whistle sounds.
5.Reminds me of a forest at night: scary bass pulses layered over miscellaneous drone.
6.Warbling synthetic sounds with sort of an underwater feel.
7.Spacey keyboard.
8.Creepy: electronic effects made to sounds like a hive of insects crawling around. That’s what I thought, at least.
9.Nothing worth writing here. Pretty standard for this album.
10.Ethereal feel with more noticeable guitar over electronic whine and periodic rustling sound.
11.Sounds like an electronic underwater whale communicating with its buddies.
