Perspective IV
On their fourth album, released for the first time in 1976, Richard Pinhas and his changing co-musicians continue to explore the hypnotizing Heldon sound universe. "Agneta Nilsson" begins with a track that impressively proves that standstill can also have a pulse. "Perspective I" mills its way through tectonic layers of sound for ten minutes, achieving such an intensity that the song acts like quicksand on the brain. It is certainly one of Heldon's most frightening works, and its simplicity makes it even more impressive. It consists solely of amplified sounds thrown together. These are the essential elements of Pinhas' magic, presented here with maximum pressure. As usual, the following tracks on "Agneta Nilsson" deviate greatly from this opening. The pieces almost rebelliously refuse to be imitated - despite the fact that four of the five tracks are also entitled "Perspective" and that they are chapters of a thematic whole.
