Despite their rather silly name (too much Sigillum S maybe?), this is a superb atmospheric-industrial release. Slightly cosmic at times, the overall sound offer's not warmth, but a kind of empty inter-galagtic coldness. On a foundation of machine-like loops (Zoviet France came to mind once or twice) this italian duo overlay surging pulsation's of treated and processed sounds that roll in like storm clouds from the stratosphere. Maybe a bit abrasive at times, but if you're used to ZF or Cranioclast, then this should be right up your alley. Some of the tracks seem a bit indistinguishable - which may be a problem on future releases, but easy to overlook for now. A strong piece of work.
