\"Recently Ukraine's Edward Sol surprised me with his collaboration with Brume (see Vital Weekly
1018) and now he comes up with a new solo work. It expands further on that LP and shows the
development for Sol clearly. In the older days it was somewhat cruder and noisier, but these days
he uses his 'reel tapes, cassette loops, analogue synth, sampler and contact and acoustic
microphones' to craft an interesting collage of various sounds and melting them together into one
unified piece of music. If I understand well this album has to do with conflict, either within Sol's
family or in his land. You choose. There are five pieces on this release, clearly with the idea of
having this pressed up as a LP, if you look at the lengths of the pieces and the first four ('side
A') show Sol at his best. These pieces are short and to the point, combining low end bass sounds
with electronics transforming acoustic sounds, spoken words, a solitary organ on the side and
sounds from the war zone. These are pretty intense pieces and are more than excellent. The final
piece, 'Right Leg's Shorter' is twenty-one minutes and I thought it was a bit long for what it was.
It used a variety of loops and electronics, but it seems that is sometimes too static in approach,
before moving on to a next section. I think there is enough material in here for a really good piece,
but the piece could have been a bit shorter than what it is now. Nevertheless I think the whole
album is very good.\"
