Title Description:
Gilles Aubry - computer, Nicolas Field - percussion

(É) Colonies of android insects and acid rain falling from metallic skies alternate with treated field recordings made by the duo in Russia and Croatia; drum eruptions a la Carl Palmer are overwhelmed by disturbing chattering and visions of extinct animals whose ashes remain stuck on our skin. In some instances, distant rumbles calm the overall pace of the album, just to be replaced after a few seconds by a cross of Edgar Varese-like percussive outbursts and cheap imitations of a nuclear-powered shuttle whose launch has been delayed because the astronauts aboard were eating popcorn instead of following the countdown. We detect a keen sense of humour even in the most dramatic sections, and that's a sure sign of intelligence; these manipulators of reality have their own unique vision which is a pleasure to share.

Touching Extremes (Italy), april 2006, Massimo Ricci

(É) The two play quite energetic music, which works well. Intense playing in sometimes a traditional way (certainly when it concerns the percussion), but throughout it's a menacing, uneasy affair that is demanding a lot of the listener. One to play loud so that one can take it all in much easier. But rest assured: you will leave breathless but satisfied.
