Roughly speaking, you'd probably drop this one into
the broad category of darkwave, though some would
label this a rather experimental example of said
genre. At any rate, the overall ambience at hand is
right down that alley and fans of both ambience, odd
electronica and darkwave should have fun checking out
the quiet-spoken mental freakout available here. If
you ran electronic pulsed pop through a way left-field
filter of oddness and minimalism (if you ground up
trad pop in a grinder made by Beta-Lactam Ring
Records, in other words), you might end up with
something like this. Something pretty but pretty
friggin' weird. But while these stretches of the
group's music are accomplished, I was more captured by
their efforts in the outright spacey, ambient zones;
these were the spots that really let you just float up
into space for a while and commune with, well, with
whatever the hell it is with which you'd be communing
in space. You might turn into a big space baby like in
"2001: A Space Odyssey", but I could be wrong. -- www.blrrecords.com-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
