What I want is the terrifying, the meaning, the cruel, the chaotic, the darkly exciting, the ecstatic, the irrational &ndash; music that resounds between the cells and in the intergalactic voids... &ndash; Slava Ranko&quot;.<br /> <br /> Extract from insert: &quot;...This records is the result of hundreds of hours of overlaying synthesizers and treated biwa tracks on an 8-track recorder in Slava&#39;s studio...&quot;.</div> </div> </div>
