Strangly heavy and operatic. The pounding rythms that are Ruins, primarily bass and drums, seem here to have recieved a glamour coating. The addition of two female vocalists, one with seemingly operatic sights the other with a husky/sex voice, and virtuoso progressive synth make this reworking of Ruins tunes feel somehow more mainstream, more accessible,more for the masses, while still never for the weak of heart. Probably the closest thing I could use to describe this would be Frank Zappa, that is, if Zappa was crazy and japanese. The polyrhythms are great. I love hearing different voices talkchantsinging over the top of one another in seeming disarrangement. I love the ability to start/stop on the theoretical dime. At times it may seem like nonsense and others it seems to be the only thing that makes sense.
