Yes this mysterious project is opening its doors with some interesting approaches to sound manipulation & noise excursion.

The first disc "escape the grid" contains five cycling noise traxx that take you into a different quadrant of the mysterious grid & put you back to where you belong. Heavy, ear piercing, & abrasive as hell are just a few words to describe this trip you will be taking. Think MERZBOW, Sonar, Aube, or any other masters of abrasive destructive NOIZE!

"Escape the grid" becomes this & more. So for all the NOIZE fans out there, you might want to scope this one. The second cd "Legacy Support the System" deals more with sound manips, samples, & rhythmic structural Noise. Reminds of some of early P.A.L. and Noisex. Samples are very essential to each track and work very well with each especially on tracks such as "pleasure" & "ignorant of human behavior."

Tracks "meditation" & "irate" simply make this disc worth your while. "meditation" has a nice dark flowing appeal to it, while "irate" will have you gut-laughing on the floor, wanting to hear more! NICE, I haven't heard something that funny on a disc in quite some time! If you can't decide what cd to get, I would pick "legacy" but if you like NOIZE a lot, I mean a lot, check that one! Either way not too bad, I want to hear more!
