review :: anonymous
Overall impression: excellent. This album is comprised of recordings in Vancouver
between March of '93 and August of '94. This is DVOA's first release on the eclectic
Invisible label, and may possibly be one of the best. The music is the product of the
usual Spybey sound experimentations: horns, loops, voices, some percussion, etc sent
through a wall of delay and reverb. This album only has 2 or 3 songs with vocals
though. As usual, to my ears at least, the sound never becomes too dense or
cacophonous ... it maintains a certain level of sublte change and listenability
throughout. The Key and Zev contributions aren't particularly noticeable, so don't buy
it just for that ... buy it because it sounds great. The artwork is probably my least
favorite of his releases, but still interesting. Yet another great disc from Spybey ...
