The enigmatic Saul was once a member of the group JCBB and started as a jazz/blues musician. On this platter of warped electronica, he handles everything: guitars, percussion, flute and violin, plus lots of keyboards, sampling and programming. The first thing you think of is drum'n'bass -- ultra-fast snare drum/bass drum patterns, synthetic moods, hyperkinetic drive. However, alien elements quickly impose themselves on the listener and genres get blurry. Noise guitar, soundscape experiments, wild free jazz samples and ethnic music quotes all drag the music "elsewhere." And then, there is the way the music is structured: complex, prog rock-like changes, even though tracks remain short.
