  1. The Wire

    Rather than fetishing these sound sources, Neubaten vacuum-pack the lot inside a hermetic and constricting production that is immensely disturbing. [#241, p.57]

    Perpetuum Mobile offers a more moving and engaging experience than you would expect from an album whose primary instrumentation involves an air compressor and a car tyre.

    It is difficult to say which is more tedious and painful to listen to, the lyrics or the orchestration.
