Album description

Our third album (Jamendo rejected the second on the grounds that it was purely spokenword and had no instrumentals) is One Point Oh: a minimalist synthesized soundscape overwritten by a vocoder voice. This uses several lyric sets originally intended for the previous band.

Point Seven...

Ravenhurst minimal minimalism to a reasonable extreme.

Verb Transitive doesn't even give you the chance to look it up in the dictionary or recall your grammatical tuition.

Rear View Premonition, our history of the future. Are we really progressing ass-backwards, or is it just me? I like the resonance of this track, nice minimalism and still sparse, but poignant. Nice track.

Finally, The Sole of a New Machine, places the ghost where?

Good album

let's see if I can put this the right way. This album seems like it is full of crap music, at least according to the other reviewer. I disagree completely. I think that this is an excellent example of minimalism. Each sound has been carefully selected and placed as a punctuation behind the speech. The slow and play out after the babbling begging of Ravenhurst for example is a genius of repetition. The raising alarm into the crash in Verb Transitive and the repetitive lyrics coil around in a glorious example of a pathetic fallacy. The monologue nature of the songs backed with the almost complete lack of music only makes every simple beat the more meaningful, like heart beats behind the monotone robot voices that express human concern. Rear View Premonition paints this perfectly. The final song continues the same beats, and one then realizes that the whole thing is a single evolving poem. And for that, this experimental song-poem cycle is well worth listening to more than once.
