"We suffer from the lack of understanding of ourselves and our past
collectively and individually thus we are driven by these factors like
little machines"
- so says the back cover
Electronic music that looms out of the ambient pool into an atmosphere of
ethereal rhythmic noise. Far from complex ambient, Augur is more like its
namesake, an oscillating piece of crafted machinery, and it rarely tries
to be anything other than absolute minimalism of a few combined samples.
It isn't as polished as it could be, but given this was recorded live, it
suits the immediate atmosphere filling in the space between uncomfortable
moments. Disjointed and hollow mechanical chatter succumbs to the blanket
of low-fi in nearly all tracks, no surprises, just languid disassociates.
Not a memorable album for innovation, but one that could happily simmer
at an art gallery to parallel the obnoxious posers shuffling. More
experimental than dark.
Presented in a clear jewel-case, the release features no sleeve, with the
window focusing on the black and white icon circular saw-like design
silk-screened onto the CD. A back cover features a spiral of concentric
circles of words that with song titles explain the origin of the disc;
"This is a documentation of a live improvisation at the kiva 8.29.99...
Processed samples of previous performances were utilized... recorded
direct to CDR."

MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
that need sales to survive.
For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!
By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
