More Info

"The Crisis project came about in early 2009 after recording the album ‘Reactor4’. Reactor number 4 was the nuclear reactor that exploded within the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, Ukraine, in 1986. It was considered to be the worst nuclear disaster in history. The disaster left the city of Prypiat abandoned. To this day the city remains an exclusion zone. The recordings on this album were made to create a soundtrack to the whole era, when in 1986 the Western world learned of the disaster.
(Crisis are not linked to the early punk band of the same name).
This is the debut album for Syndrom Records. A mixture of dark ambient and electronics assembled in ten tracks. There are sampled voices from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster era, coupled with distorted signals and electronics." [label info]

"The humming of analogue synths, the use of reverb, the mumbling of buried voices, the cold and desolate nature of this music. One could think of the old Maurizio Bianchi, area 'The Plain Truth', that depicts similar bleak, industrial landscapes." [Vital Weekly]
