Reviews
"On the already noted Finnish label Some Place Else this LP from a guy I never heard of, but who offers
a nice debut. The first track on side one is a weird, almost dance-like piece, most notable, very
distorted and it aproaches dance music naievly. The next track Nordic Cichlid Club Night is
mumbling of voices and somebody who stands on cable. Radio Harmagedon opens with shortwave and
Crowley chanting (gosh that was a long time ago). Later in the piece, as the radio is firmly set to
static, a keyboard is underlining the piece.
The b-side is filled with the 19 minute opus The Shadow Monger which goes from wind like synth
into an obscure world in which nothing seems real, a wicky wacky bass synth enrolls some doodling (maybe
computer generated noise?), before it delves the spirit of the underworld again. Towards the end the
whole orchestra is sampled and played - pathos.
In all: file definitely under industrial, but one with a sense of humour, with here and there an odd pun
to the subject 'industrial'." (Vital Weekly)
"Grey Bloom on ambienttia, joka yhdistelee lo-fi teknoa, muodikkaita elektronisia saundeja ja ripauksen
modernia funkkia 40 minuuttiin ja 4 biisiin sisällytettynä. Turkulaisen Niko Skorpion lisäksi
tuotantoryhmässä ovat olleet sellaiset suuruudet kuin Gedon DaGray, Salvia Divinorum ja
Y'Malah Kornukopf. Rajua! Hoida tämä ja hämmästy puoleen taikka toiseen."
(Like Uutiset)
"Niko Skorpio esittelee vinyylillään Grey Bloom - xero vol zero (PowerWave) sähköisten
äänien elämää, jollakin tapaa biologisesti ja naturalistisesti. Pääosassa ovat maailman äänet, kuin
mikroskoopin tai kaukoputken läpi nähtynä. Ihminen on läsnä, mutta vain tarkkailijan osassa."
