"Conclusion" takes a minimal stance, rattling tiny bells off its shoulders and knees, and jumping up and down like a rabbit with mechanical legs giving off a processed natural sound that spreads into the sky in a form of acoustic shapes.
Thunder like crackles rip from ear to ear as the jingly jangle melody continues to ripple around and slightly transforming itself backwards and forwards from machine to organic. This is 10min 42 seconds of evolution, full of so much, you just have to hear it. Quality.

"Delos - One way, Slight Return" takes a heavier angle, with a crunch glitch beat and pipe like smashes all over the place, creating a hugely rich atmosphere that you cant not nod along to, whilst "Exile" opens with a heavy electric guitar and rock drums, with static rainfall and smokey flybys from helicopters, high in the smog laden sky above. It reminds me of a game soundtrack to a hyper fast paced fps, with some major weapons.

"Tube" rocks and skips on the spot, like a massive spongey frog with a belly ful of stones and diamonds, and then reveals a glass clattering bell smashing flipside that catches you unaware, and causes visions of manufacturing plants surrounded by high razor wire fences, to somehow pop into your mind. Visually rich track. "Disposition" takes the other side of the coin with a happy characters themetune, full of grinning audio and smirks, but it soons develops more of an epic sound to it. Growing in stature with violin and cascading drums and miami style callings, this really could be the soundtrack for a film. Reminding me of a Novel 23 track, so rammed with sound that your head looks around like eyes on the end of storks, just trying to soak it all in.12 minutes of audio skill.


"Artridge - Finished soundtracks for Unshot films" is exactly what it says, and I think even if you hadnt seen the title of the release, you would still envisage footage to this music. Really amazing stuff, especially "Disposition". Definetly worth checking out.
