Packaged in a unique gilt-embossed fan-fold paper sleeve, this experimental release explores various sound textures composed by various artists including Mark Spybey himself. This cd features twenty-two untitled tracks of foreign sound collaborations with artists such as eric pounder on guitars, e.simmons, kaffi lefebre, giacomo altobelli, elietto gielletto nessiani, & e. hodgson. Together through various tracks they surround your mind with acoustic and digital sound devices that reminds me of direction Foton Records is heading with their projects.

Complete isolationism of sound, controlled environments that are counteracted by few elements. This project is takes you on introspective journey mainly relying on atmospheric string elements and less on the percussive textures. The release could definitely be considered a background music while watching certain artistic noir films, good dark fiction, or just relaxing and enjoying a good evenings rest. It may not be the most appealing to all, but those who enjoy minimalistic intelligent dark ambient will like it to say the least.
