This is an album of electronic noise/ambient and the sound itself is quite interesting and impressively complex. locrian does have a point in that there isn't a great deal of musical substance (more earlier in the album than later), but I still found it to be interesting background listening.

Over Drone

I found most of this album unengaging and uninteresting, the exception being the last two tracks, Lifespan and Cooldown. The problem is not that I found the first four tracks to be poor quality - instead, I simply have nothing to say about them at all. I feel they lacked the kind of ingenuity they needed. This is always the danger in minimalist music - you have to pare it down without removing what makes it worth listening to.

I did find Lifespan compelling, as it created a real presence and a sense of foreboding, and I feel Cooldown also had a message. The quality of these two certainly gives me a lot of faith in the band's capability, and I will definitely try other works of theirs.
