Comment: this set of 3 long-running compositions is produced by David Teboul aka Linear Bells from Naoned (Nantes), Brittany, (the territory which has been culturally and ethnically occupied and oppressed by France over many generations) whose album An Island (issued on the Swedish tape label Zeon Light) is being one of the top notches in 2012. However, this time he turned over 180 degrees to take more on discrete space-related effects full of dark-hued and shadowy fringes and corroded resonances. By nature the album is genuinely pessimistic giving no hopes and light-hearted glimpses for next days. It sounds like a broadcast transmitted from an abandoned junkyard of history reflecting still upon the fucked-up dreams and hypocritical life of human kind having had once before the torrent of malignant radiation annihilated it all. The release is to be one nick in the long array of the aesthetics once conceived by Luigi Russolo who warned us from possible consequences and tremendous side effects coming out from the industrialization process.
