IT is ostensibly "electronic" music that tests the limits of sound, hearing and the average home stereo system, laying out deep bass rumbles and crackles that gradually rise through the listener's perception, then recede to unusual frequency levels that could almost damage speakers. It's a completely abstract approach to music, as the main focus is the creation of new sound, and not the formation of these sounds into a coherent "composition" -- this, of course, makes the album appealing mainly on conceptual, scientific and auditory levels, not standard emotional ones. In addition to four normally placed tracks in this vein, the disc also features a piece in the -1 position (rewinding from the "first" track's beginning). ~ Nitsuh Abebe
