about

From 2001, the third recording I released as BABEL. Less use of the brass chalice as a tone generator, instead using guitars much the same way. A little percussion is creeping in and a lot of found-sounds and samples which would (mistakenly in my opinion) detour BABEL into a more standard electro-industrial format afterwards (those recordings can now be found over at tranzmit.bandcamp.com). Originally came with a 16 page zine of comics similar to the cover drawing.
