Last release I reviewed from the Zhelezobeton label was a great rhythmical ambient album from Hypnoz. This time it’s also a partly ambient release, but Ül mix it with oldschoold industrial flavors. Which mean that between the more dark-ambient structures, there are also some harder industrial outbursts.

The music starts pretty dark with low sounds. It utilizes a more musique concrète approach with the sounds used. With the second track, the industrial elements are brought upfront, with distorted guitars. The next track is quieter, just like the first track. It swings this way from track to track; from a soft music-concrete piece to a harder industrial piece, and again. Track 7 is the noisiest, with a lot of harsh sounds, ending with track 8 that somewhat sounds like we started with.

It’s a nice release to have, but nothing too great. The order of the songs doesn’t always work for me. The album mostly consists of two kinds of tracks, the more ambient tracks and the industrial tracks, and they sound too much alike. Instead of beginning with four ambient tracks and then four industrial tracks, they are mixed together, only not in the most interesting way. The album has a nice and mysterious feel from time to time, but it’s not as well conceived as the other Zhelezobeton release.
