This 3? CDR by the duo of Alex Cobb and David Kirby contains two tracks, one clocking in at 15 minutes, the other at five minutes only. The longer title track opens with a dramatic surge of intensity, as it rapidly shifts from discreet, chirping feedback to a thick wall of guitar-cum-electronics sound. A few minutes into the track, the intensity reaches a plateau and the multiple out-of-sync waves of drones gain massive physical presence. Compared to that, the second piece, a reworking of Taiga Remains' "Brilliant Dead Highways", is much calmer in nature, almost ethereal, or, to put it differently, a curtain rather than a wall of drones. It is, however, equally pleasant and offers a fine combination of softly flickering electronics and crystal-clear overtones. At five minutes in total it is unfortunately far too short; it holds enough potential to go on for much longer and at such a short duration it gives the impression of a fragment rather than of a full piece. Nevertheless, it establishes a beautiful counter balance to the first track and provides some fantastic, shimmering textures that are as discreet and dreamy as attention grabbing. 9/10 --
