This album delivers a raw and restrained approach of lost guitars meshing with totemic ritualistic drumming and strangled vocals, of which HDU consider as perhaps the last and least most important instrument of their ensemble. Distorted and delicate, the album traipses what was a new path in the mid-90's, artistic, aesthetic, call it what you will, HDU stand apart from being a rock or indie band by their sheer isolationist fugues. : `/\/----------------------------------------------------------------------\/\. _____ _______ .____. : _\ /__.___ ___\____ \______| /_____._______ : /___ _/___ ` / \_ \ __/_ |_ /_\ ____\ : _\ /_|\/__. /____\_____\ | __/_______\ : .::\______/:::::::| /::::::::::::\|\____\:::::::::............... ..... ... .; : |/ : 01 activation 03:46 02 a tagging decision 03:43 03 tempered: short range 01:21 04 sulphur 05:16 05 glory 08:46 06 accessible 05:57 07 sum rise 04:31 08 eclipse 04:26 09 commune 09:11 Total: 64,6 MB / 46:57 : `/\/----------------------------------------------------------------------\/\. ________. ________ : _\_ /_____.____.___\ _ / : / \ / . __/_ /\ |\_ \/ : /____\ /_______/____.___|_____\ : .. ... ..... ..............................::::::\/::::::::::::::::::::::::::: : MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
