4 stars Tom is a frank guy, whom drastic soundscape I could not imagine at first. This album "Zolder Ellipsis" was released as his third creation. His enthusiasm could be expressed enough via this album, let me say.

The first shot of "Crag Gets Reanimated" ... oh assumed I bumped upon such an atmospheric noise anywhere previously. Yes, this psychic agent-y dark essence reminds me of Krautrock like Scarecrew or so. But sudden complicated psychedelic organ sounds completely catch me. Tricky contrabass reaction is crazy good too. Due to kinda mixture of avantgarde and psychedelic, my brain finally was absorbed into their eccentric soundgarden. The following "Zap Gun" sounds like experimental / post-metal tinged with dry electronic pepper. Quite heavy bullets are shot into my brain again. "Q+A" is another quirkiness full of free jazzy texture like Motor Humming. Funny funky freaky organ dances are enchanting.

Pretty much experimentalism and improvisational attachments can be heard via "Imperial Enlightenment". Not only dissonant but sometimes also melodic, dramatic moments come up to me. Cannot step nor clap to this dissecting stuff but it's so electrocollapsed enough to stir my brain up again. This track and the next "Magnetic Objects" would have been seasoned with Krautrock filled with weird electronika too. "Android Coronation Ball" sounds just like musical hotchpotch based upon heavy rhythmic nation. Eh, how come he to play such a not-easily-performing opus (my love though)?

"The Antidote Game" could be called as an electronic experiment under bombastic heavy circumstance. In the eleven- minute strongbox are lots of elements like ambient, electropsych, avantgarde, freejazz, hardcore ... his experiment should not be finished eternally. Such a stream from this track until the last trip "In The Hole" cannot keep me safe and sound at all. ;)

In conclusion, this portable madness can be recommended for various progressive rock subgenre fans like Exp/Post- Metal, Avant-Prog, Krautrock, Electronic, not art-rock lol. Good.
