A Pleasure Cruise Through 9 Dimensions successfully takes yet another left turn by presenting an album covered in concrete. Musique concrete. EDWARD KA-SEPL has eschewed all song structure in favor of avant-garde soundscapes. The word "soundscapes" is almost a dirty word in most cases, but EKS attacks sound like a master sculptor, freeing unique and surprising sonic forms from the ether. He brilliantly decoupages electronics with emotional otherness, punctuated by disembodied voices that bubble up from the beyond. This is what Xenakis and Schaeffer listen to in electro-acoustic Heaven. Why be outward-bound when you can be Edward-bound. CD limited to 200 copies, LP limited to 150 copies.
