COLUMN ONE built their own label, this is their first compilation release with mostly projects from Berlin or out of the C.O.-area.." [Drone Rec. descr. 2001]

“...This very nice sampler from the label emphasizes the receptiveness of the label. The album is opened by the beautiful clicks'n'cuts-track "Hasel 43" of the Mimetic/Column One-collaboration. Generally the glitchy sound-expression dominates the first part of the compilation. Then the album takes a step towards more abstract computerized sound textures, that most of all reminds me of the "OR some computer music"-compilations from the London-based OR-label. Spoken word in German seems to be the common denominator for some of these tracks in the middle section of the album. Best tracks on the compilation come in the more ambient-oriented final part of the compilation. First of all the surprisingly short work of Spanish sound artist Francisco Lopez, who delivers an intense sub-dued drone-piece based on concrete sounds. Another fine gem is the dark ambient piece by Frieder Butzmann featuring spoken words by Industrial music's grand ol' man Genesis P. Orridge. A very promising debut-sampler from 90% Wasser.“ (NMP) [Vital Weekly 300]
