A new star on the firmament of the ambient industrialists. I must admit that I stuck this in with some remote sense I may not like it too much. Contrastate's pathetic singing more and more turns me off. The four long tracks combine low end rumbling of drones and samples. After about 10 minutes a dark break beat kicks in, but it doesn't ruin the nice built up from before.
Tension is built carefully in 'The Author' packed with location recordings of children's and cars.
Like a radioplay, hauntingly beautiful. They took a whole bunch of live and rehearsals into the studio and built them with the manipulative tricks the studio offers into a very space like jam of pounding drums, organs and guitars of course. Lots of dubbed guitars, played with the usual accords and tons of feedback. Of course I am not a space head, but I quite enjoyed this one again. Two more releases in an ongoing series of concert material by the Kapottelads demixed by composers who 'have a specific relation to the given material'.
