about

Gapless concept album.................


"Infinitus Ensemble performs dark, atmospheric compositions which exude a sort of haunted house mood, reminiscent of the solo work of Einsturzende Neubauten's Alexander Hacke. On the tracks with words, the compositions are primarily mood-setters, be it the eerie dirge of "Best of Prey," the haunting synths on "The White Room," or the windy, Autumn-ish emptiness of "Laborious." Somehow, the German language is so perfectly fitted to these mysterious compositions - though part of that is the creepily detached intonation of the speakers. The instrumental tracks take even greater liberties with their atmospheres. "Capsule," for example, elicits an image of a rickety old mansion in a thunderstorm; it comes replete with an unsettling drone, sampled creaking and cranking, and the sounds of a distant bell. Also titillating are the warped piano keys of "Smooth Away (pt. 2)" and the boiler room ambiance of terrifying "Escape."

The overall effect of this album evokes images of a creepy tour through the decaying mansion of the subconscious, and with that in mind, the Infinitus Ensemble has done a spectacular job of designing an atmospherically intense journey of an album.

N.B. Comes packaged in eerie, flower-patterned wallpaper. Perhaps torn straight from the mansion's walls?
