Comment: Marc Broude`s (born in 1984) outputs can be considered as one of those hallmarks in the crossing point of illbient, industrial and (dark) ambient music without any doubt. At those 7 tracks over 42 minutes you can feel dense, clinical sense of dystopic ambience played up by means of Tibetan bowls, electric guitars, drums, violin, piano, acoustic guitar, didgeridoo, electronics and many other devices. (There can not be forgotten the influences by Big City Orchestra, and Coil either). But not only - at times it sounds like an instance of free improvised jazz madman. The closure track Muerte incorporates refined rushes based on a Western-like harmonica and subdued chords of a guitar.
