"Southern Exposure" opens the disc with a sense of claustrophobia and paranoia, walking a thin line between safety and where. "Ephemeral" follows, a languid drum beat keeping unsteady time with the vocals, another study in the poetry of the lost. Jump ahead to "Advent of Zeto", where a chorus of bells give way to a monstrous wall of percussion, where vocals stretch and melt into eachother in a glorious wave of sound. Hypnotic and entrancing, a sense of spiraling psychedelica. Track nine "Invertebrate" creates an air of fear and suspense, unresolved tension driving the piece. Truly marvelous in a dark and confining way. I could go on longer, but of course every moment I spend talking about it is a moment less that you have to experience it yourself. "A Violent Narcotic" by Jute has proven to be one of my favorite albums of the last few months, and I'm sure that many of you who's tastes runs towards the darker side of things will feel the same way. rik maclean - - rik@pingthings.com This month at http://www.pingthings.com - an exclusive interview with Mercurine plus the ping things *massive* first anniversary sale has been extended with new CDs.
