Comment: Erix S. Laurent aka Teepee started off today his east coast tour with the full band. Success on the tour means that his next LP will come out on time, and he intends to share it with everyone. There is a gift for us, called Time Meant Nothing which involves an exciting trajectory on its own - throughout the course it used to grow bigger and bigger until getting its shimmering blooming. More thoroughly, it chimes like a pristine Beach Boys set up under the waterfall. A wall of noise.

Comment: Apsis Lappet is the solo project of Nate Kitchens, the Texas resident who started to compile his own pieces after the breakup of a pair of musical cooperations. Stylistically the whole picture is truly colourful due to a shitloads of refined allusions and at times humorous forays (indeed, there are some similarities comparable with the aesthetics of Army Of Lovers). Kitchens` music is whimsical and buffoonish and on the other side he is interested in to get involved in reaching vertical, epic heights. In general, it can be considered an instance of indie-tinged electronica-synth pop bedighted with accidental arpeggios, treated vocal lines, guitar-based propulsions. There are up some exceptions too - Rejected is Jenova 7`s breakbeat-driven remix, and Anaerobic is Kitchens´most innovative composition which includes experiments with the shuffle of radio waves, minimally channelized digital elaborations and infiltrations of suggestive concrete sounds.

Comment: in the first place, this batch of 9 compositions showcases its brooding and a  little hysterical brain dance-appealed side full of (half-) shades and industrial-tinged rhythmic facets and highly infiltrated borderlines right and left. Sometimes these elements are set in a way to build up more abstract sonic tissues, haunting landscapes and ill-omened robot "voices" which are assisted with the help of some concrete sounds and warped sonic effects. There are up some exceptions either which used to step in the traces of deep dub music. In short, it is an eminent example by the Russian combo coming out of the innovative dance music scene.
