V/A HOUR OF THE WOLF
Excellent compilation, musically coherent and consequent. Kristian Ohlsen`s piece with its Anenzephaliaesque oscillating synths sounds raw and primitive with lots of reverb. Martin Bladh ties in with his last "Island of Death" album with high frequency drones and drums, very well composed, musical, song-oriented ... Kevin Tomkins` track perfectly connects to Martin Bladh`s composition, very beautiful loop machine drone ... the last track is dark minimal drone. The display of the artworks in the accompanying booklet is a bit unsatisfying. The print and choice of paper is good, but in comparison to the high quality of the music, in my opinion, the artists would have deserved something more special, than just the plain booklet and a loose CD inserted into a plastic sleeve.
