The 17 mindbending songs on this compilation represent minimalist experimental music at its best, a collage of blips and static. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2022

A full spectrum of unique experimental noise/music from Indonesian artists. From lowercase style minimalism to full on power electronics and noise rock instrumentation there is something for everyone here. Highly cultural and spiritual folk instrumentation and singing is blended into the mix as well. Definitely one of Unexplained Sounds Groups best compilations to date. Gwynncore
