Once again David Thrussel appears to have outdone himself. This time he has
compiled a collection of fictional soundtracks with Pieter Bourke of Eden that
outperforms the previous Soma release "Hollow Earth". At first listen this
album appears to be a collection of such various and disparate compositional
elements as keyboards, exotic percussion, harpsichord, and acoustic guitars.
Yet it is the finely woven textures of these normally conflicting instruments
that makes this album so concise and cohesive. It is hard to tell how each
track evolves but it is rather obvious that Pieter contributes his ethnic
instrumentation background with the electronic orchestration genius of David
Thrussel to achieve unparalleled results. The final product can only be
properly described in David's own words as "Sitting in a room with a spaghetti
western film playing on one wall, an old Italian horror film on another, and
someone is spinning a chip-hip record in the middle."
