LOOPS & REELS

And it doesn't work AT ALL for me.

These electronic experimentations all the way through are just unbearable. You might call it dark, depressive etc. I just can't find anything which is worth a mention during the length of this album.

It is an extremely hermetic work with several "instrumental" tracks of which "Critical Mass" and "The Bells!" are absolutely dreadful. What happened, Peter? One could already got an idea of what was coming during the first side of "Black Box" but a whole album like this?

"The Moebius Loop" is the first audible piece of music during which one can furtively guess some of his vocal capabilities surrounded by ambient music. Peter did already several incursions into the electronic experimentations in the late seventies/early eighties, but never did he produce such minimalist project. Thank god! The long My Pulse also has some short fine parts, but these cdan't save anything.

I can hardly say that this is for fan only (I am a fan and I have an enormous respect for most of his work) nor for newbies (gosh! what would they think!). I have no clue to whom this sort of album is destined. But not to me. His next album will see the return of some old mates. Thank you guys.
