4 stars "Charred Machinery" is an enormous catalogue of electronic sounds, low/high frequencies, including usual beatless and really interlocking synth exercises. The atmosphere is terribly abstract, frightening and obviously dark. "Charred Machinery" features archetypal droning, hallucinatory effects, electronic noises, microtonal textures and modulations. A really gorgeous "chaotic" orchestration of haunted sounds. "Songe Romoter" includes low, powerful meditative bass lines (Is it an amplified cello?) covered by "molecular" electronic effects & noises. "Suite Mechanique" is an other brilliant abstract industrial instrumentation within a really sinister atmosphere. Pretty surreal dark drones and "cosmic" madness. A handful of original electronic treatments in Conrad Schnitzler's most ambitious moments. Fantastic and highly recommended for fans of Cluster I & II or more recently Omit and their creeping, claustrophobic "Tracer". Not recommended for beginners because it remains a very hard, cryptical listening.
