After a six-year hiatus, former member revived his project with the full-length , a dreary album of dark soundscapes and a singer. Taking his track off 1992's and blowing it up into a loose concept album, has hired man to contribute lyrics, guitar, and his swampy vocals to the album. The opening is the grand meeting between 's creeping and 's creepy electronics, while the satisfying finds acting as 's producer until he dissolves the tune into . The rest of their output sounds like a clever soundtrack searching for a moody movie, which is just to say it's both convincing and forgettable. The other track of note is the dreamy which finds guest vocalist speaking in ethereal tongues and sounding quite a bit like a sample. There's heaviness to the rest of the album that ponderously plods until numbness sets in, plus a collage in the booklet that perfectly illustrates 's big problem. In the collage, an antique picture of families frolicking at the beach is combined with an atom bomb exploding overhead, and then two showroom dummies are haphazardly planted in the foreground. is equally hackneyed and entry-level postmodern, but like the collage, it's skillfully polished and best suited for lovers of dark, incongruous genre blending. ~ David Jeffries
