Be warned, Music For Voyeurs is an exercise in introversion, the result of intense unrest and melancholy.
'Drink The Miracle Water' is an audio protest against crazy religious television with a bizarre monologue sample, strange synth sounds, warm synth strings and wiry guitars.
Sounding like aquarium-music, 'Minsk' is altogether more piano-based with a gentler composition. Just a hint of strings adds some atmosphere to this instrumental soundtrack.
'Twins' returns us to the samples from oddball Christian television. This song has a feeling of impending doom sewn into its orchestral-warm-up fabric.
There's a bit of a beat and plenty of guitar-action in 'Octopus', which is an atmospheric piece of incidental music.
This record doesn't have massive appeal. It is a bit off-the-wall and at times even jarring - but this was never really recorded for public consumption. This music exposes the naked soul of its composer and perhaps heals some of the wounded melancholy that it portrays.
