Comment: Johannes Leo Weinberger says that his album is a collection of electroacoustic noise poems, which are musical translations of mental processes. Indeed, it is an exhausting insight into the human mind, however, wherein the listener can detect lots of irrational tendencies and appearances. If you have grown up by listening to the likes of an early Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA, Throbbing Gristle, and Einstürzende Neubauten then you have experienced similarly anguished feelings before it again and again. This 10-piece issue has been managed in a way to be utterly frantic, deranged, weird, and a little bit frightening. It is a bunch of gray-coloured soundscapes which are pronounced with spoken word arrangements, incisive whistles and intense drones, and more or less amplified backdrops here and there. Inspite of being a multi-faceted one the whole succeeds in to be a well-defined realm with clear-cut vectors and impulses. However, some bellicose states of mind coming out from within it warn us that the future may not be ours.
