Comment: this bunch of 53 minutes is an old recording from a Butoh theatre (Japanese dance theatre) in Sankt Peterburg, Russia taped in 2008. Undoubtedly it is an intriguing, adventorous issue though the very first minutes of it are needed to get into the point of it. In fact, what is the core and intention of this issue? How much the volume knob should be cranked up? Actually there are hidden many points into it to be found out by the listener. First of all, one can hear iterative patterns coming over your head in an enchanting way. It embarks on with a pattern of the repetitive ringing of church bells by representing it in a way to connect the mundane and heavenly aspect. There is up glitched-out debris, there are represented sounds reminding of the scrapes of metal, sometimes you can hear fascinating drones and murmuring and hectic short wave radios and mind-altering spoken words (in Finnish) which started to live their own life which later will be replaced stepwise by autumnal, a bit caliginous drone ambient and then in turn by splashing watery sounds and spatial female singing. However, the pace of the album continues to be the same – hypnotically iterative. The more you listen to it the more this magnificent world by Gosha Solntsev (a part of the art combo Noises Of Russia) opens up inside your spiritual and mental cerebral centre. The great issue is a part of the discography of Drill Records, and Haze Records (unfortunately I could not find out the link of the latter one anymore).
