Sonorous drones and foreign-speaking radio voices open Yemishe; these elements carry on, to be joined by ethnic rhythms, electrical textures and other interestingly arranged found sounds. Backed by group chants and an unidentifiable clunky/watery sound, the world of Succurath expands to include brassy swells, incomprehensible spoken words and sparse percussive clatter. A dense, sweltering dronecloud leads toward Yaquaru (10:00) where a throbbing pulse (or a pulsing throb) sets the predominant rhythm and is adorned with various snippets of vocal mutters and insectoid noise.
Echoey ripples of a faintly musical pattern resonate from deep within Elengassen; odd whirrs, faint textural ambiance, flute loops and deep electronic groans and glitches are stirred into this hypnotic mix, which grows thicker and louder as it develops. Atonal bells ring, echo and slur through the opening of Mylodon (12:39). A pulsating (perhaps grating) shimmer eventually dominates the proceedings, threaded with occasional didge-like growls, making for a moodily edgy listen, until the piece fades to silence.
