When taking this job I had no idea of how strange publishing house I will have to face. I watched the very minimalist and strangely modest (unfinished?) performer website, and then I saw the even poorer album cover. Another interesting feature is that the graphics on the front shows 10 titles, and 17 tracks is on the CD.
So with a little confusion I listened CD several times, I found that the whole plot fits the music. How strange are the sounds of 'And The Hallucinations', would like to suspect that the authors reached for some unallowed specific. Is hard to describe what we find here. With no doubt we have a journey through many places. Sometimes we find ourselves in the Arab world, then we're already in Jungle. For one song we even feel staying at the hairdresser, in the background you can hear shears and clipper. Sometimes it turns into ambient, and another is into industrial. Tracks are very different from each other and they are colored with shuttling and noise. Combination of guitars and ethnic instruments is very cool.

I would call it experimental music, because it's really hard to pigeonhole 'And The Hallucinations'. It is hard to say clearly whether the record is good or bad. One just might like it,or recognized it as a pile of unrelated sounds, and this is perhaps its charm.
