Dragging through the dark melting muddy grounds of an spacious landscape with a glassy yellow moon shining in the dark oily earth. Tribal rhythms echoing through the thick intoxicated air. Sulphur breathing creatures coming closer as you see their steaming breath filling the air.
On Agnosia Formication brings you Moon Musick with a deep unearthly sound and wide character. Their dark electrified music is mesmerizing and will bring you into an altered state of mind filled with dark blooming flowers of unknown origin. Coil surely is a keyword to this release for they are travelling the same route through eclectic and bizarre landscapes with shifting formations and deep pulsations.

Alec Bowman and Kingsley Ravencroft created a technologic journey through a nightmarish countryside. “Symptom of a Mind Disorder” starts rhythmically with nervous electronic pulses and distant sounds of animals coming crackling through timber. “A Sad Story of Not Having” will bring you into higher atmospheres with flowing sounds entwined with a squeaking and crackling loops like a broken machine.” The Skeleton in Your Head” is particularly peaceful with distant woolly piano chords drowning in reverb. “Night-time in the

” takes you back to hallucinatory landscapes with the mesmerizing sound of strange animals. This track comes to you like a feverish delirious dream. A slow evolving melody and deep bass chords widen up the atmosphere for you to enter this surrealistic land with watery grounds. “Agnosia” is the last track on this, with only 32 Minutes, a bit short CD. This again takes you in liquid textures of anomalistic landscapes of bubbling and pulsations. Incantations are whispered and the earth is brooding its new breed. The pale sky is enlightened by spaceships releasing their high pitched sounds while moving through the air.
Agnosia feels like a claustrophobic soundtrack of an delirious nightmare. This technoid record sounds organic with haunted atmospheres and dark pictures of an unearthly surface.
 Agnosia is not an original album but is of rather good quality and comes pretty close to Coil’s Music to Play in the Dark.
