This album basically sounds like a journey to hell, or through a horror film or whatever... but yet, it isn't quite as simple as that.
Do not buy this expecting 'real music' with vocals and song structure ect. ect.. This is just one long track, but it is way more than a 'bunch of noises' and yes, more than just 'ambience'. This is a beautifully haunting soundscape and work of art in my opinion, but thats the point of this album. Opinions. Some will love this and call it a piece of art, and others will hate it and call it a piece of garbage. It is completely according to your own personal definition of music. I cannot reccomend this album, because even though it works for me, I cannot say with conviction that it will work for you. If you are open minded, and looking for something unusual and original, look no further.. on the other hand if you are looking for 'music', then walk on by.

I have heard a lot af mixed oppions on this album. some one I know listened to the first 15mins and took it back. He did't even touch the surface of this album's immensity. this album is musical art work. i have never heard anything like it and i doubt i ever will. If you are bored with what current music has to offer and you want something that is completly different, buy this album.
Then wait until its dark, turn off all the lights and prepare yourself for the experience of a life time. Just think of it as one big song. Listen and learn, you mat be dissappointed but see beond the current guidelines of music and you will be impressed. I was!

So, i was so excited when i got my hands on this new album by everyone's favourite musical eccentric i ran home, slapped it in my cd player and prepared to be blown away. i was more than a little underwhelmed on first listen i have to say, in fact about 30 minutes in I took it out and blasted some dillinger escape plan to make sure my stereo was still working!! Of course my mistake was that i was listening to it whilst eating a burger and reading 'what guitar' magazine so only really half listening to it. that night i whipped out my headphones and stuck it on before i went to sleep. Oh my GOD i have never been so scared in my LIFE!! THIS is the only way to listen to this album, set aside time in a darkened room with no distractions and make sure you have a spare pair of pants handy!! it is absolutely fabulous when listened to in this context, monks singing, bird song, howling wind, and this strange effect where the music seems to leave the speakers and float around the room before crashin back in again - awesome stuff!!! there's is so much going on on this album you simply have to hear it to believe it!! but don't make my mistake - let it take you by surprise and above all make sure you're in the mood for it, it won't dissapoint!!

Okay then. How to go about reviewing what's basically 75 minutes of atmospherics...here I go. This is one 75 minute long track that's effectively just cinematic sounds and music. Read more

Sounds like death and/or hell.
That is what my girlfriend thinks anyway. I am a big fan of Fantomas' first two albums and this is not exactly what I was expecting but is no less the better for it. Read more

Fantomas slows things down
If your expecting the same sort of thing as the last two albums then think again, Fantomas have slowed everything down and have ended up making an easy listening album of sorts. Read more

Fantomas' third offering is a much quieter, subtle affair than the previous 'Directors Cut' or 'Ameneza al Mundo'. Read more

Not so much a Fantomas album, more an album by Fantomas.
Bought it as soon as I could without ever downloading it and went on an extra long walk in the freezing cold to listen to it all on my CD player. Read more
