"John Gore is an active guy, with his Oratory Of Divine Love and >wirewall< in slumber mode, but still releasing fine music on his Cohort Records label and his own musical project Kirchenkampf. Whereas with Oratory Of Divine Love he works with radio waves, with Kirchenkampf that goes in combination with synthesizer and sound effects. Over the years his music didn't change that much I must say, but perhaps that is not his intention. On these seven pieces he explores the radio waves, synthesizer and modest sound effects in a very relaxed fashion. Maybe that's where the change is? This new release sounds a lot more mellow than it used to be. In fact, perhaps even the most ambient excursion I encountered from Gore. A highly delicate release, carefully constructed with a few sound elements, music that hides away, stays away and forms the perfect ambient back drop. Dark, mysterious, minimal: all of those common ground places fit this release. And perhaps its not the most 'new' (in an avant-garde sense of the word) releases, Kirchenkampf has produced his best work to date." [FdW /Vital Weekly]
