The sound projector 14th issue 2005-06 After initial promise of insanity and weirdness in early tracks, this CD of art-rock quickly gets pretty dull, if not downright silly. It does start with a fine bit of perplexing noise; there's a solemn percussive opening, after which 'kit polini' delivers some utterly disjointed guitar rock, assisted b y Drumbo-sytled drumming, horrible percussion effects, and additional horrible vocal groans - all of which instils a good degree of bewilderment . Pretty good arty grunge...and there's a sense of gloom and dread in its mad urgency, which you can use as a soundtrack for the pictures on the cove rs. Front cover shows threesun-worshippers in pagan stance silhouetted ag ainst taht golden orb that is a totemic object for them. Back cover depicts thre e naked women running headlong into the sea; as you play this openin g track, you might imagine these bathers scuttling off to flee some nuclear-p owered domm, or be eaten alive by sea monsters. 'Gnocchi' likewise is another case of frying pan or fire; it offers little relief from implied terrro track titles include 'coup de hache' , ' blessures secretes' and 'amityville ' I think you'll agree this has gone quite far enough.
