"I could tend to agree that this compilation adheres to the proposition set forth by Luigi Russolo in 1913: "Break out of this limited circle of sounds and conquer the infinite variety of noise-sounds". Yes the artists comprising this collection of compositions adhere to the promice of the liner notes: "Journey...into further deviations of uncharted sonic frontiers".... Robert Rich and Psychophysicist prove their reign over this type of deep ambient sound-music. Coma Virus brings forth an open heavy semiorganic palpable field of sound. And TAGC "white sand" is an impressive slow minimal impermanent wave chimera. But his "invader" on disc #2 sounds like a background soundtack for an elementary Scifi show. Atom Heart presents a drone good for secondary filler music on a full CD (not compilation worthy). CTI should stick to underground dance music. Their "la genou" is a stagnant echo melody. Lustmord proves he can follow but cannot lead. Disc #1 is a tolerable collection, but #2 is unbalanced. This collection as a whole lacks unity and comes across cruely impotent."
