Brought back from the brink of psychosis, C. Reider shares with the world some things i did when i lost my mind. This collection of harsh ambient and glitchy noise tracks represent the musings of a fractured mind; occasionally calm and lilting, but more often brutally harsh and grating. The listener’s experience is minimal, dark and, at times, unpleasant: a tribute to C. Reider’s ability to capture the essence of his own internal tumult. Though the album works best in tracks like “boson solange”, in those rare moments when the chaos of granulated noise is underpinned by a hauntingly soft ambience, the entire journey bears the scars of its Hellish origin.
[Rating:4/5]
