    In the hands of artists as confident and unflinching as these three, the scope for discovery and growth becomes infinite. The darkest of gems.

    Set of four live songs recorded and included on the "Transverse" shows that Carter Tutti Void can surprise listeners of electronic music withSet of four live songs recorded and included on the "Transverse" shows that Carter Tutti Void can surprise listeners of electronic music with new ideas. Compositions such as "V3" and "V4" are a combination of ambient, industrial space music with a strong electronic overtones, accompanied by a characteristic style of shoegaze wall of sound. The whole project is worthy of attention. Collapse
