Title Description:
Beautiful, cryptic and spartan, these three tracks by the Greek producer Thanasis Kaproulias -not to be confused with the artist Novisad on the German Tomlab label- ask many more questions than they answer. They sprawl through space, as unruly, suggestive and difficult to pin down as their titles. Firmly rooted in drone, each piece builds from scratchy near-silence, swelling towards a succession of bracing but opaque climaxes. The opener ÔÕEverything Looks Better Beside Wter'Õ, begins as nothing more than harsh, spare white noise, but eventually a sound of liquid arrives, and the two parts fuse together, flowing eventually into a single, resonant note wreathed in nameless, high pitched chatter. ÔÕCrawling On The Pavements Of Your Skull'Õ is lengthier and more deliberate still -sound shards chafe against a low, oscillating chord, and gradually the voice of Liv Ullmann (sampled from the BergmanÕs film The Passion of Anna) enters, bringing with it a dose of quiet desperation and opening up connections to the early work of Godspeed You! Black Emperor. (The Wire)
