Joxfield ProjeX Numbers & Letters (Clinical Archives)


Yet one year ago the Swedish pop music seemed to have strongly been associated with the sound of fields, sunshine and colourful flowers. You even know, such beautiful and safe, yet masterful and well-produced conceptions which fulfilled the task of muzak in the certain way. (The muzak as music is such a kind of listening object which is used to be predictable, i.e, keeping to live its own life from the very start without needing much attention and reasoning anymore). However, all my premisses were changed since I heard Joxfield ProjeX, by Yan and Oax leaded ensemble which showed up really deep and ungraspable point of view.

In fact, there has been a lot of albums within a year: Bits And Pieces# 1-13; Picnic; Virtual Dreams & Realities; Shimmering Mah No 1; Phantastique; and recently, Oddities And Rarities 2005-2010. No one of them were failed. Moreover, all the aspects of serious and intellectual-minded rock music were profoundly investigated on the aforementioned issues: from the progressive rock to the open-minded and over-the-edge-pouring space rock, ambient techno and kosmische musik conceptions.

A new one is compiled of 24 tracks (or 3 CD sets), including cooperation snippets of such luminaries as Pat Mastoletto, Geoff Leigh, and Kenji Siratori among other guests. It might be seem in comparison with the duo`s previous works it does sound more free jazz-y, incorporating the elements of pompous electro-rock/baggy-ish breakbeats, in Japanese spoken word, dream-loaded and hazy flute improvisations, ragga-rhythms and tanpura-sitar drones. However, it is obviously the first time when a release by their side seems to be a bit loose (or extrovert as it is already said), sometimes "uncomposed", based mainly on free improvised jams, or on the other side, sinking into the mould of avant-prog bottom. On the last third of the album, however, it smashes its head spot getting intensely to haze its boundaries and breaking on the other side. Though my top notch and recommendation is previously Oddities And Rarities 2005-2010, yet, those 24 tracks are very important part to get completed the whole regarding Joxfield ProjeX`s sound and conception. The whole picture of them became even more indistinct. And it is excellent, of course. By a Joker`s point of view indeed.

Sun-inside Speed Beauty (Section27)


The Ukrainian project`s first track is named as Transparency Palm which might semantically have a reference to Faust`s first, so-called X-ray album, and the album title might referentially be related to krautrock style in a bit broader sense as well, though its surrealistic and shimmeringly sounding approach is more keen to hauntologic and sampledelic outputs rather than come to over for manipulating with motorik and hypnotic conceptions. Indeed, 13 tracks consisting of weird low-end synth effects, have been played out via high-key sonic patterns, though mainly on the lo-fi mode, remembering strongly of Cagey House, and Manuel Buerger sometimes. In fact, weird can be perceived without the weirdest ones. For example, Tragic Ceiling has been brought forth through mystical spiritual music, respectively to the Russian orthodox tradition. This track could be associated with the collaboration acts of Alexei Rafiev and Alexei Borissov (two albums under Clinical Archives).

Beko Beko_box3 (Beko DSL)


To speak tongue in-the-cheek of the style "witch house" it may seem to be sounded like the gothic people/dark wavers` chillwave music. No doubt, between the aforementioned styles are obvious similarities (the use of low-end synths, the exploitation of the DIY-aesthetics), while their main difference is drawn by the using of noir-loaded soundscapes/hauntology, and peripheric sonic experiments. The style, by the way, under which categorized bands, at least some of them, love to use different symbols (especially the different way-shaped crosses) in their names, though the most well-known of them, for instance, the likes of Salem, Modern Witch, and oOoOO are restricted in the borders of alphabetical signs yet. However, the label Beko DSL is always used to pretend finding out new bands and styles-subgenres, but their turn toward witch house/drag/haunted house seems to be their first notch, though. This release, consisting of three boxes, and 6 ensembles (Mater Suspiria Vision; d3thplaY; High Park; Residual Prophecy; ZON; lll^◊^lll, can be considered as a fine kind of overview-offering compilation. In any case, a good introduction to the new hype.

Head In Body Not So Empty EP (KLaNGundKRaCH)


Head In Body, the Czech-based project`s new EP sounds most time like a tribute to Suicide, a legendary no wave band from the USA. More specifically, it sounds as the album of a kind of variations dedicated to Vega & Rev`s creepy (anti-)hit Frankie`s Teardrop. Sonically it does mean that certain elements are nicely represented here - psychotic, chopped, and through delay-channelized mutated vocal effects bring forth themselves as the dominating pannel of the sound. On the other side, the EP build up a bit difference, succeeding keep moving elsewhere. And the different elements do base upon the experiments of profoundly low bass drones and brown noise crackles to have brought on the other side, and driving in the wake of Pan Sonic. Anyway, in a good shape balanced ominous album.

Sky Event Sky Event (pan y rosas sitio)


2 musicians, Hathaway Hester (cello, little instruments), and Keith Helt (guitar, little instruments), are influenced equally by modern out and avant composition as well as contemporary Chicago creative music. As it is said, their soundscape is full of plinks, plucks and percussive slaps surrounded by abrasive chamber and electro-acoustic ambiences. At the half time it sounds really austere and rigorous, the first and third track do reflect more delightful approach. In fact, I can´t give it utterly positive agreement because sometimes it seems obvious that involving in the creative process do offer much more fun than the very output for listeners.

Manuel Buerger The Midi Opera (Shalom Salon)


No doubt, Manuel Buerger`s The Midi Opera is a thankworthy output, dedicated to the midi file format, which has been boycotted by the predominant part of computer users. However, played on an inbuilt synthesizer of a computer Buerger does offer 15 short tracks of a very short longitude, going their way through a lot of peculiar sonic details reminiscent of space age pop tunes back to the 60`s and 70`s. Played up in a fine mode you can be caught driving on a route of weird sample flushes, high-pitched chords, roughly sounding caustic swirls, sublime glockenspiel combinations, in a primitivistic way conjured bubblegum funk and trance beats. Moreover, it might even be considered a bit mocking regarding different styles and currents (for instance, some prog-rock-esque eagerness at Tuburalbells). Though built up in a rough way, it does sound lushly because of being squeezed into a polyphonic result, being caught between format and nostalgia. For an argue, compared to his contemporaries his work gets the spot really close to Dave Keifer`s (aka Cagey House) compositions, though, Keifer is used to exploit more haunting samples. In a short, it is a funny and serotonine-pumping work, being a pro-flag for the midi format for sure.

Caustic Reverie Remainders (Jamendo)


Have you ever listened to a least one of the fiveteen albums by Bryn Schurman (also know as TheForgotten)? I meant just an one time at least? In fact, Remainders is not an album on its own terms though, being compiled of different tracks having had no locus on the previous albums. In fact, Schurman would be called as the king of metallic drone music, whose monotonic soundscapes and minimal sonic conceptions are paradoxically fulfilled with a lot of warmth and powerfully conclusive feelings. It seems like a logical follow-up to the tradition of minimal composers for nowadays. Or you can imagine it as if La Monte Young or Angus Maclise would have sat behind a computer board and building up some new frontiers within borrowed borealic aesthetics of Tim Hecker. Yet might there be any adjectives to describe the whole in a better way? "Caustic reverie", it would be an obvious answer, though. A lot of impacts are associated with it - the nothern lights shimmers, elemental dust-coloured iceness, epic sub-classical approach, creeping microtonal dirges and subtle hiss-inclinedness. No doubt, it could be thought or illustrated out in other ways also, speaking out the very pictures-evoking soundscapes, or even a new kind of metaphysics (no contradictions between the sounds being contrasted up against the history of human thought and word). It also does sound as a pessimistic approach not being ready yet and probably never to believe in the positivism of technical progressions which is felt into a bumpy nightmare being paralyzed by remote breathes and oncoming steps of malignant robots ready to march on to have a part of destroying the human being as a species for tomorrow. The music of this kind with ambient drone feeling bound up with a pessimistic emotive declination I am used to tag it as "dystopbient".

Ballpen The dreams trilogy (La bèl)


In recent years, among others, I am used to get deeply involved in music of some Italian labels having stylistically been offering different yet conceptually cutting-edge outputs. More specifically, every release under Barbie Noja, Chew-Z, Kill Mommy, Zymogen, and La bèl is an unexpected one and really worth to give a try. In fact, concerning specifically on in Italy residing projects I have discovered such ones like The Last Meredina, Nicola Ratti, con_cetta, Christian Alati, Barbagallo, The Japanese Gum, Menion, Elisa Luu, Difondo. By the side, speaking about the music from the Apennine Peninsula in a more general way, it would be a kind of crime not to mention the likes of Hox Vox, Ornitology, Les Dix-Huit Secondes, The reason is clear - because all of these aforementioned bands have put on their very own mentality to some Anglo-American influences. However, it seems so that there are two geographical peripheries in Europe which are really rich by their innovative music - Finland (their powerful avant-garde folk experimentations, so-called forest folk) and Italy. In the context, no chance to get over by Kraftwerk - Eleganz und Dekadenz Europa endlos

Actually the array will be completed with adding of Ballpen, the project of Alessandro Coronas, conjuring up really interesting and intimate dream-alike soundscapes. (And other billions of strange and funny combinations of the puzzle-pieces of my life - as he says himself) 11 tracks do search for their place and borders hovering between folk music, cowbell indie, sub-IDM beats, chamber music, dream pop, child music, even the classical approach of minimal, sometimes really minimal sonic palette (which is not suprising because of Coronas` conservatory-related background). Of course, the easiest way to chart the whole it would be tagged as "folktronic music", and indeed, this is correct on its own - at least partly. For example, fabulous tracks Anna Lisa goes to bed, and The magazine dream. On the other hand, all of those slowly progressing chamber music lines built up to half-evolved crescendos, intimate sonic insights and introspections, a lot of key changes, subtle minimal electronic and glitch-y ghosts-infused undercurrents are up for to eliminate stylistic walls around its concept and allowing to bring forth a lot of transcendental feelings for a subject. Listening to this I can remember (or it is remembered by) for some soul mates - Oscar Hallbert (Sweden), and Thuoom (Finland). Altogether, a great composition indeed.

[Old but important] Children Of The Drone Compilation no. 8 (COTD)


In fact, the Exeter-based musical group of 10-20 members should be a legendary one, not only having some cult reputation among dedicated music lovers. COTD is through its line-up closely related to the other collectives and projects as well (for instance, A Tiny Window; Ail Fionn; Dongas The Tribe). Their soundscape is involved in hypnotic jam sessions, impressive pictures of art-y folk music, having the closeness to natural and organic soundscape and depthness inbetween and beyond the layers, playing up a lot of meditative psychedelic circuits, thereby constituting up as powerful uniqueness and intelligent variety finally. The array of Exetrians` instruments is similarly impressive one, including the music-oriented instruments, and artifacts as well. However, if you take some time to getting enjoyed them you shall have to reserve a couple of hours, because the most of sessions are up there into this tendency. And the UK-based collective is not limited to the sound conception only - I strongly recommend to you to visit their site and read their argumented views about many phenomena and manifestations (including music business). Let`s them speak and you'll definitely get some (self-) reflection.

Unlike the most of their experiments these are not usually filled in very surreal, darksided feedbacks and echo effects which by the side are injected with gorgeous mystical attitude. But it is the case of Compilation 8. You can meet some free form improvisations, electro-acoustic ambiences, and psychedelic sonic conceptions. And indeed, over a long period some low-end (and shamelessly undervalued) electronic keyboards and electronics/sampling units have been exploited. If Kemialliset Ystävät`s frontman Jan Anderzèn expressed once devout hope that his music would be in certain way to be related to the outer space having its very goal in this way while it can be said that obviously by Matthew Watkins` curated band sounds into the universe for sure. A seemingly simple journey on the one hand, it expresses a static (or in a minimal way sounding) sonic trance on the other hand, within the borders of the high-level articulatedness the progressions of sonic algorithms are getting even more visible with coming to the end. In fact, it does not create any kind of tensions or frictions while flowing into transcendental meditations. In a more concrete way, through comparisons, here is a link of kinship with Six Organs Of Admittance, and Spiritualized to be found, although, in a much deeper embodiment. An astonishingly deep stuff.

[Old but important] Eukariota Animalia (Fariscal)


Someone Nicolàs B, In Buenos Aires living 26 years old musician, who is recording at home with a guitar, bass, some keyboards, 4-track tape recorder, and a precarious recording technique, making really genuine stuff on his own. Indeed, the way how subtle and lush guitar sounds do shimmer around invisible axis or are arranged to throw hooks here and there, which are sometimes introduced or followed by brown noise-covered short segments or spoken word samples, are made up by the position of a genius. Regarding his guitar works and some experimentation with noise, considering also crossovered lines, he does show up his closeness to Jim O`Rourke; or the monotonic synth lines find out the way up to early Stereolab`s aesthetics. Animalia was his debut release (2007) followed by Un Dia Luminoso (2010). The maximal result with minimal instrumentation.

[Vana ning oluline] Deep Magic Balance (Deep Tapes)


Kalifornialane Alex Gray (ka tuntud ansamblist Dream Colour) on geenius. Mitte sellepärast, et ta suudab omi kassettalbumeid sold out`ini realiseerida, vaid tema helikeel tundub kordumatu peegeldusena (muusikute puhul usume, et nad lähevad transsi, pannes oma hingeseisundid albumitele). Kas märgilised viited kosmosele osutavad ameeriklase astraalkehastusele?

Tema debüütalbum "Balance" - reliisitud eelmisel aastal 20-minutilisel tape`il, koosnedes kahest 10-minutilisest träkist - peegeldab monumentaalset staatilisust, võimalike parameetrite ja taustsüsteemide hangumist, transtsendentset mõõdet ja ambitsiooni. Süntesaatorite soojakõlalised (pop)drone`id on vaheldumas mitte vähem sugestiivse kosmilise süntesaatorirütmika ja helklevate trillerdustega. Teises loos kaasnevad ka improvisatsioonilised elemendid, muutumata kuidagi jazz`iks. Meenutab pigem Tangerine Dream`i kaemuslikemaid ning transsi lukustunud hetki ("Rubicon", "Ricochet").

[Filmimuusika] Mihkel Kleis "Oleg"


No nii, Mihkel Kleis, kohaliku proge- ja fusioonlipulaeva Luarvik Luarviku liider ja vabavormilise friikautansambli EDASI! kunstiline juht on seekord hoopis filmimuusikaplaadiga maha saanud (Jaan Toomiku lühifilmile "Oleg"). Arvestades tallinlase multidistsiplinaarsust, varasemaid kõrvalepõikeid (nt Lylian Meister`i isikunäituse "1001" helindamine 2008. aastal), kunstilist aktiivust ja otsingulist rahutust, ei tule sellesuunalised arengud üllatusena.

12 lugu peegeldavad neid locus`i , mida filmimuusikat on tavapärases mõttes peegeldama mõeldud. Emotiivsed helindid, milles väljendub agressiivse segmendi väljenduslikkus, tüüne vaikelulisus ning vaikuse piiride kompamine, on siin meisterlikult esile tõstetud. Barokne ja kammerlik miljöö on vaheldumas minimalistlikult introvertsete noir-passaažide (või suisa madalsageduslike monotoonsurinatega) või süntesaatoritel põhinevate happeliste fusioonrünnakutega; avantprogele iseloomulik repetiivne ning nurgeline perifeeria tõstab kvaliteeti ja hoiab vaheldust ülal. Kuivõrd filmis on palju rongisõitu (peategelane naaseb Punaarmee kroonust), siis MK püüdis rütmide ja kõladega lokomotiivi liikumist imiteerida (nt loos No. 3 võib lisaks rongikellade tilinat kuulda). Ka on kasutatud kitarri ja bassi (pluss efektiblokke). Muuseas, fuzzitud bassi kasutamise mõte sugenes Andrzej Zulawski filmi "Diabel" (1972) vaadates. Veidraim hetk (samas võib-olla ilusaim) kontekstuaalselt on No. 9, mida võib tõlgendada kui gregoriaanlikku naisvokaliisi (hoiame nihkevektorit jõus). Iga kuulamiskorraga erineb album varasemast nähtamatuks jäänud tah(k)u(de) poolest. Leitud on piir, balanss, mida tihtilugu leida ei suudeta - tasakaal kontseptsiooni lopsakuse ja eksperimentalismi vahel, mistõttu manipulatiivne faktor kuulaja suunas suureneb.

Kokkuvõttes tuleb nentida tõsiselt hea teose olemasolu, igatahes seni parima, mida siinkirjutaja Eestimaal AD 2010 kuulnud on.

[Vana ning oluline] Thierry Massard Staircase And Corridors (Bandcamp)


Rääkides tänapäeva blogide populaarsusest, siis ühed külastatavaimad on kahtlemata vanadele ning väikesetiraažilistele industrial- ja noiseabumitele (reliisitud kassett-või vinüülformaadis) pühendatud leheküljed. Vajadus selle järele on suur, kuivõrd püütakse vaheldust leida tänapäeva (digitaalsetele) saundidele ning liialdavatele obsessiivsetele saundipededele, püütakse tutvuda reliisidega, mis ennekõike olid toored ja jämedad analoogküpsetised (mille tegemiseks kasutati kardinaalselt teistsuguseid meetodeid). Ning teisalt, vanad (ja parimad) tegijad leiavad seeläbi taas tunnustamist ning vajadusel lisatakse muusikaajalukku täidendavaid infopudemeid ja mõjujooni (pärast hindamist ja seoste leidmist).

Thierry Massard salvestas aastatel 1979-1982; tollal 20ndate eluaastate alguses prantslane kasutas ülesvõttekeskkonnana vanemate vana garaaži, mille keskpõrandale asetas monofoonilise rekorderi, asetades selle ümber muu tehnika, kuhu kuulusid antiikne Wem`i kajamasin, lasteorel ning odav kitarr; lisaks olid varustusse hulgas "mõned kontrollimatud ja veidrad pedaalid" ja väike raadio, mida ta kasutas kitarri-, hääle- ja pedaalivõimedina. Ka sämplimisest ei saanud mööduda ilma b-kategooria õudukast katkeid laenamata. Lisaks käesolevale pärineb tollest ajast ka album "SüBE Version", millest Massard tegi 50 koopiat, saates need mööda ilma laiali (nt Cosey Fanni Tutti`le Throbbing Gristle`ist).

13 loo vältel (mis algselt oli üllitatud Metropublik`i alt mõned aastad tagasi) kuuleme vana kooli industrial-muusikale omast nihilistlikku minimeeritud käiamist, monotoonseid delay-efekte, kõikvõimalikke kahinaid - mis pärinevad raadio ebamäärastelt lainepikkustelt, lindisahinatest ja väliste konkreethelide ebamäärasustest -, mikrotonaalseid katsetusi ning elektroakustilist ruumiga manipuleerimist. Uutest, hiljem töötlemise käigus lisatud efektidest tasub märkimist EVP (electronic voice phenomenas) kasutamine, mida võib peaasjalikult kuulda lugudes What² ja What What.

See album on ennekõike mõeldud neile, kes peavad lugu helikunstist, (vana kooli) industrial- ja müramuusikast, inimajaloo muusikalisest pärandist ning selle arhiveerimisest. Peab aru saama, et pärand ei ole ainult see, mida poolpaljad näitsikartiklid MTV kaudu esindavad, ning hea meel on tõdeda, et vähemalt 130 inimest on "Staircase And Corridors"-le juba heakskiidu lisanud.

[Kontserdid] Animal Collective Live at The Coronet Theatre on 2007-07-11 (Archive.org)


Animal Collective elik ennekõike Avey Tare & Panda Bear oli ilmselt eelmise kümnendi üks olulisemaid kui mitte olulisim (võib lugeda: mõjukaim) punt. Nad alustasid veel sellal, kui maailm oli milleeniumivahetuse-võimaliku apokalüpsise(ihaluse) painete järelmõjudest üle saamas ning otsis uues situatsioonis uusi kumiire. Animal Collective`ist sai keskne heeros, seesugune bänd, kes paistis silma innovaatilise helipildiga, jäädes seejuures äärmiselt ekstravertseks, emotsionaalseks ning ekstaatiliseks. Animal Collective sobis kokku nii juuriajava uue laine lo-fi/DIY-liikumise kui New Weird America`ga, kuulumata seejures tegelikult mõlemasse - võib tagantjärele nentida. Teisalt bände ja muusikuid, kes laulsid seesuguses maneeris nagu Panda Bear, kerkis nagu seeni pärast vihma (andke mulle andeks klišeelikkus). Ennekuulmatu trillerdamine, mis ristas vana ja uut, kõlades kui Ameerika (liba)unistus, ei saanudki jääda kultusbändi staatusesse. 2009. aasta ning album "Post-Merriweather Pavillion" (Domino) oli nende lõpliku läbimurde aasta laiemate masside teadvusse, edetabelitesse ning prime time-eetritesse. Ning kuigi siinkirjutajale nimetatud reliis üldse ei sümpatiseeri, on mul hea meel nende edu üle (nende panus on vähemalt väärikalt pärjatud).

Kindel see, et "Loomakollektiivi" parimate reliiside (kas esi-või tagaotsa albumid) üle võib vaielda, samas võib üldistada, et laivbändina on nad eranditult meistriklass (midagi seesugust, mida võiks The Spiritualized`i ja Mono kompromissitu tasemega kõrvutada). Üheks seesuguseks näiteks on 20-st loost koosnev gig Coronet Theatre`is Londonis 2007. aastal (mõned päevad rohkem kui aasta pärast nende esinemist Lillepaviljonis Tallinnas). Luupiv helipilt, elektrooniline kosmos (elektroonilisem kui plaatidel), laotuv, lainetav ning ruumi täitev psühhedeelia, Panda Bear`i laiuv ning kaikuv vokaal ja vokaliis. (Taaskord võib hämmelduda laulja vokaaldiapasooni ja ülikiire kehastumisvõime üle - nt loos Brother Sport on kõrvuti joodeldamine, gospel-ihalus, nõelavad karjatused ning midagi veel lisaks. Ka vaibumisele on siin ruumi jäetud - kuid üksnes selleks, et uuesti välja purskuda ning ekstaasil paremini paista lasta. Ka lemmiklugu Loch Raven on esindatud - veel üks tubrik nende kontole.

Jacques de Villiers More Wind For Lonely Suburbs EP (2010, Jacques de Villiers)


Jacques de Villiers on käesoleval aastal oma teise üllitisega tagasi. Muusik, kelle helikeelt võib võrrelda Tim Hecker`i digitaalkrabinatest seestunud boreaalkosmosega aastaid 6-8 tagasi. Sarnaselt Montrèal`ile puhuvad ka Kaplinnas külmad tuuled ning sajab palju lund. Lisaks elavad seal läheduses ka pingviinid. 24-aastase aafriklase aasta alul ilmunud "Sleepsongs"-i (hinne: 8.9) hõllandustele on lisandunud uued dimensioonid, asi on käändunud veelgi rohkem ebamaiseks ning unistuslikuks. Žanriliselt tähendab see keskendumist üksikute piaanoakordide ruumis laialihajumisele ja sulni mikromüra süvahoovustele; kadunud on drone- ja shoegaze-varjundid, lihtsalt kinemaatiline ja emotiivselt plahvatuslik helipilt on lahti rullumas. Teisisõnu, seda võib vaadelda ka kui harmooniate ja müra piiride seiklemist, segunemist ja hägustumist. Aga jah, siin on kõigest 3 lugu: Oceanic Preamble, Written For You After You Left Us ning Wednesday, 18 July 1945 (A Perfect Winter's Day).

Factory Kids Get Gone EP (Noecho)


New Weird- ja psych-tont käib mööda Euroopa avarusi ringi... . Nali naljaks ja liialdused liialdusteks, kuid Šoti duo Factory Kids ehk Christina Marie (The Modern Hour/Audn) ja Tom Chaplin (Luminous) on seesugune bänd, mis meie kontinendi konservatiivsesse indie-muusikasse ja popavangardi on viimase 2-3 aasta jooksul uusi mõjujooni ja erksust pillanud. Muidugi, Euroopa muusikaajaloost võib leida palju näiteid ekstsentrilistest ansamblitest, kuid need on tähelepanu leidnud hilisematel aegadel.

5-looline EP räägib mõistatuste ja küsimärkide keeles. Vihjed, vihjed... . Kontrastid, kontrastid... . Tagurpidi rulluvad efektid, heliline robustsus, kummituslikud kajatoad-vokaalvarjundid, kordustele rajatud minimaalelektroonika, "vigasuse" presenteerimine, digitaalsed helikarkassid, varjulise ambient-muusika eepiline mõõde. See ei ole kindlasti helikeel, mis jagaks koodid ja mõjujooned esimeste kuulamiskordadega välja. Glasgow duo juured peituvad vana kooli industrial-muusika nihilismis ja neurootilises staatilisuses, no wave`i elektroonilise punkkõlaga mässulisuses, krautrock`i repetiivsuses, kuid kindlasti eeldab see ka helikunsti vaimsuse ja võttestiku tajumist. Suicide, Throbbing Gristle, Brian Eno, Einstuerzende Neubauten, Cabaret Voltaire, Laurie Anderson, Big City Orchestra. Vajab kuulamist ning kaasamõtlemist. 21. sajandi punkmuusika. Ning lõpulugu Tale Of Never on ambient-muusika ideaalkuju uuestiloomine.
