Very darkly evocative, a world full of shadows, and, at the risk of being repetitive done with consumate skill. A.n.K.h is one of those artistes that seem to put their heart(s) and soul(s) into their productions, rather than manufacture music for the simple purpose of becoming rich and famous. I might be wrong, but that's the way it seems. The rhythms and dark, sometimes foreboding structures, resound and echo, with deep undercurrents of melancholic instrumentation. "I, myself, AM strange and unusual!", so I'm going to confess that I love this album, and some of the appeal is A.n.K.h's unique, fascinating glimpse into a world that could represent A.n.K.h's psyche itself, and find reflections upon transmission in another time and space, commonly known as experiencing and subsequent existence. There seems to be a more confident direction. I definitely agree with KraftiM about KAIRO and the later tracks, but that just makes you want to listen to it all over again!-) I'd never want to sleep forever... unless maybe I could have headphones on!

Like long rusty talons dripping with blood, this sinister album grips your mind in a death vice and never let's go. Glitchy beats and clicks, remeniscent of an ancient tower clock possessed by a demon, and more organic yet twisted, wavering pads and synth swirls, combine together with linear structures to evoke the feeling of a subway descending to Hell. The final feel, sound and texture of the album is that of a beautiful graveyard at night, reaking of Death, Decay and Evil, yet almost tranquil as if it's the silence before the storm (that never comes). This is the essence of Darkness: awaiting, anticipating, expecting the worse, yet ultimately remaining just what is in the moment. This is Dark Music at it's best; stuff that can actually make you feel fear, which is far from a bad thing in music.

You let us wait a while. It is rewarding. Again the great dark but musically clear and edgy atmosphere after the pounding evil and around the fear. Afraid and Kairo are jewels in composition, where bright lightness is added. Armand is dead, and added with voices, though i prefer the music telling the necrology. Superb last tracks. Deep impact, thank you.
