Review Gothtronic

Jan M. Iversen from Stavanger in Norway and perhaps known from the TIBProd label, produces noise-ambient and his music is a pleasure to listen to with headphones on. Drones, white noise and scraping noise. With subtle manipulated sounds, strange rhythms and samples and alienating noises that come and go and leave you solitary with the ambient drones again when they wish to. It is no noise ambient and also no idm, yet it holds the middle of these two styles with the attention carefully focussed on every tiny detail. Jan M. Iversen creates a cold machinelike world in which emotion is triggered by subtle changes and moving patterns with at sparse moments the occasional squeeking noise eruption. You will really do yourself short if you do not listen to this with full attention. The disc only has 7 tracks but a lot is happening here. Wiederkehrende Welten is released by Einzeleinheit, the label of Tobias Fischer and the packaging of this cd is special, minimal and delicate, completely in-sync with the music. A white fold with an image of the famous M.C>escher stairs, in a black cover with on the front an image of the same stairs.
