VITAL WEEKLY (The Netherlands) As
noted before, compilations are a drag to review, but when they have only three
musical projects of course these things change. Two of these were unknown to me,
and from Cria Cuervos I reviewed material before. The opening piece by Bio is
one nineteen minute sound collage, which starts out quite promising in a droney
way, but as the piece evolves, the sudden changes work in a rather odd way. The
built up mood is gone and not replaced by something equally interesting. Cria
Cuervos also has one lenghty track and just like his previous piece, reviewed
in Vital Weekly 439, he continues the work with multiple layers of crackling sounds,
here a bit more in drone fashion. It will turn out to be the best piece of the
release. The Beautiful Schizophonic is the only one to have three tracks, of which
'Soul Scanner' is a pointless noise excercise, 'Girl In Ecstatic Peace' is the
total contrary piece: hard there with deep bass sound and 'Her Heart Is A Room
Full Of Drones' sort of holds the middle: pretty upfront drones, which hardly
move around. The second best piece on this compilation.
