Anonymous - Black Box Warning III (23:00) Review "Belgium's newly founded label, Plague Recordings, has brought to us one incredible dark ambient sounding release. The packaging alone, this is a strictly hand numbered release, is unique. I sat there for a few minutes trying to figure out how to open the CD without breaking the seal that has the hand written number (my copy is #33/69). Just for a moment, I felt like the primates in the beginning of Kubrick's 2001: Space Odyssey baffled by the black monolith. For the last week I've put this CD on before going to bed and find myself falling asleep about halfway through track #2. Track#2 makes me feel like I'm at some futuristic subway preparing to board a sleek train. Last night, I put on track #3 first for a change. This track has icy sounds that are suitable for the current cold weather. I suddenly felt my body temperature drop about 10 degrees due to these strange frigid sounds. For me, track#1 is the stand out with its opening eerie sounds, conjuring up some form of metallic beast. These sounds signal the start of an incredible journey through an ambient labyrinth. After 69 minutes of soothing beat-less sound-scapes, I find myself in deep sleep. Good night." (Eugene Sotela, USA) |
