As usual, Kirby manipulates various interwar records to fit a cavalcade of emotional states: blissful (B1, E8), tragic (D2, D5), frantic (E1, E6), and just plain horrifying (F3, G1, H1, K1). gjoe52

Reduced, simple sounds, reminiscent of minimal kankyo productions.
Slow + calming ambient with distinct patterns rather than all-encompassing fields. Karl Grundmann

Having been a big collector of anything I can find on the wonderful Constellation Tatsu label the artwork alone of this release caught my attention. The cover art reminded me of those sci-fi paperback novels from the 1960's and 1970's that would flood my local 2nd hand book shops growing up that would take me to other worlds. Right from the first listen I was reminded of the mid 70's Virgin Years era Tangerine Dream, Klause Schulze, Jean Michel-Jarre, and Ashra. This is a special release and should be put out on vinyl or CD someday but in the meantime cassette or digital download is the only way to go which is fine with me as I still have several tape players lying around.
This cassette opened up many other doors for me as I started buying other cassettes, vinyl LPs, and CDs by Majeure and lead me to discover Zombi (2) whom he is 1/2 half of (the other member is Steve Moore). I've even picked up a few releases by Steve Moore and I love it all so as you can see this one cassette was a monster of a release for me. Pick up a copy if you are able locate one as this cassette is long out of print with only small amount pressed. You can thank for me later. I like all the tracks equally on this release. Normally on my reviews I will break down favorite tracks but this is a stunner from start to finish.
