This is a great example of music that corresponds in a peculiar way with Infamis' "Upiór" LP. A starting point might be the comparison of both albums to the music of the road, accompanying certain images or the act of happening. Tales we create ourselves according to the sound instructions recorded on the album. I encourage everyone to go on such a magical journey - if only you have enough imagination at your disposal.
The album is opened by a track in the vein of Profanum, Cold Fusion, even ophnia. I admit that the beginning is marvellous - especially the sounds of the k-141 submarine in the middle of a great cold sea, or something similar to a factory chimney - although five minutes might be a bit too long for the timid hums, noises and murmurs. The same can't be said about the INGENIOUS second track! "K-141" is so good I've been listening to it over and over and over again. Great tension, but also calm of the composition, leading with premeditation to the edge of un-satisfaction! How can one feel satisfaction with such perfection? That's what makes me listen to track all the time. WHY is it so short? I think I know the answer: the genius creators know where to stop, to make the listener come back again and again. The third track - "A Far From Home" is a good continuation. Although it's totally different from the preceding track, the contrast shows the greatness of both tracks. "Awaiting" makes me brood. The content, surprising and interesting for me, begins only in the middle of the track, after a rather long introduction. It's based on something resembling a choir in form and matter - something I haven't expected  after a dose of modern factory sound operation inviting into a world of murmurs. "A Time To Die" is a continuation of "Awaiting" - the resemblance is easy to spot, as we have the same choirs. Interesting, but too short... Something else might've happened in the track as well... I can't complain, anyway. I'm taken away from the stiff mood by "Raising The Kurck". Subtle energy surrounded by sleepy contemplation. This track has the power of birth and the consequence of the upcoming ending. The album should be listened to at least a few times, to find all the interesting bits and pieces, intimately speaking to us, as soon as we associate them with something. That would be a great reward for the creators of this project. Associations. The sounds would never die forgotten then...
