This is the debut full-length release by Japan's Robert Edwin. When one hears a Robert Edwin song, the first thing that comes to mind is the individuality that is present in the music. It is not the same old repetitive rehashing of old ideas that is so often heard these days, it is the creative work of someone who truly understands what music is all about, and it is obvious that the music is coming from the soul of the musician, not just the hands or head. Although not a member of a band, Robert has undertaken many musical projects with several musicians throughout the world, and has an incredible ability to adapt his sound and ideas, to seamlessly blend his vision with those of others. This is an intimidating release, full of electronic thunder and lightning, from glitch scrawl to proggy guitar over sampled voices, mixed with addled drum & bass and trip-hop mayhem. This is music that comes from the true feelings of the heart, translated into soul-moving sounds. Everything has been impeccably composed by Robert Edwin -- he played keys, guitar, sang vocals and did the production. During all this, he invited guests such as Miurn, Phonetiks, Brankal, Deft Aphid, Ajlovett, 444, and Kam Stick. Charming and deliriously confusing -- a rare journey.
