Review: Morose beats, ambient tunes and textures, odd bits and pieces from left field, sci-fi weirdmusic and quirkily altered vocals (from time to time) squiggle against your ears as you listen to Arcticbeard's, distinctive audio compositions. AB's experimental personality reaches out like a sad child exploring this and that, picking things up, looking at them, putting them back down, moving on to something else, and sometimes coming back for a second look at a sound or odd bit of music. Without giving you a technical blow-by-blow of what each track sounds like from start to finish, peculiar segue to peculiar segue, I can only provide you the sketchiest of descriptions for this music/audio construction. For said description, see above. For reaction, keep reading. "The Circus of Shit Contributions+" is capable of being both meditative and unsettling. Meditative because it does provide for a unique metaphysical listening experience. Unsettling because ... well ... just because. It isn't that it goes from quiet to some really loud bit of strychnine audio strafing across your ears (like Pink Floyd did to me on "Ummagumma", the bastards ... I was trying to drift off to sleep to that CD). It's just that there's a certain sense of mental oddity that takes you to really strange places. Of course, some of us like to go to really strange places ... Check out the artist's website: http://www.arcticbeard.co.uk Track List: 1. The Escapologist 2. Tight Rope - Soft Balls 3. Octoboy 4.
