Zyrtax - Reflex Ultra (Stront, 2011)

Another old one from Stront label - but since its still available - why not to review.
First time i heard of Zyrtax project, and since cover is very minimal - just split in half with two concrete-like textures on both sides i expected some minimal/ambient/experimental sound.
But it started with loud space like pulsing and many high pitched sounds, and soon after start howling voice started. Some nice effects on voice so its totally integrated in these space sounds...
For a moment everything stops and we just here some frog-like pulsating sound, which lead us into second part of this track, with some constant high pitched sound and some interference in the background. Everything sounds very sci-fi but don't worry its very noisy, but is not usual typical harsh noise sound, since its more electronic and futuristic)
All of a sudden some distorted voice,like from some radio transmission, gave us some message and lead us into some noisy sounds with very disturbing screaming that also sound like coming from outer space. I believe whoever made this tape had whole sci-fi script in his head before making this because all sounds like there is some logic and flow to it.
i will now stop writing and and rewind so i can listen to a full tape - its a shame that this detailed piece of work just play in background of my writing process...
So all recommendations to this one - if you like more subtle noise and more artificial/spaceship sounds in compare to usual pedal noise set...
Ask Stront for copies...
