This anthology of 42 tracks embraces the Italian experimental musician Emiliano Pietrini aka Globoscuro's works and collaborations with such artists as Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt, Nina Maroccolo, Lutz Thuns, Peter Wullen, Ilaria Fierro, Serena Zingoni, Una Lee, Imi Gavin, Cousin Silas, and Øystein Jørgensen musically ranging from frantic old school industrial and malignant illbient and exquisite noise/micronoise to musique concrète and electro-acoustic experiments, however, going so far as to reach a desirable, ennobling point. These albums did solidify the status of such imprints as Noise-Joy, Enoughrecords, Kaos Ex Machina Promotions, Smell The Stench, and Hortus Conclusus. Being mostly characteristic to Italians he is also able to imbue these very extreme ideas of peripheral sounds with an emotive ingredient thereof resulting in some sort of purgative mysticism as if there were a hidden portal between ancient and contemporary world. If we also could physically overcome the burden of entropy we could travel back in time and go back to our heathenish roots. We have lost our touch with Nature, with our very genuine source. Lost souls as we are because we have been indoctrinated with such nonsenses as ancestral sin, and holy trinity. You know, Holy Trinity were in fact Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle as the three most smart and inspiring men in history I can admit it. In a word, being mentally and naturally a disciple of old school industrial and on the other side exploiting contemporary digital technology one can perceive an artist going beyond the nowadays limits by crosscutting these styles in his own way. I am very convinced his soundscapes will ring ahead of its time in many decades.
