(Alice In...) Avalist is one half of that deadly germanic duo Misantrophe, but here they strike out solo for this 6 track CD. It's an instrumental more like Ghosting's Enter My Crypt than Shinjuku Thief, - yet seems to remain true to a classical style of music. 'Silence' and 'Noise Abatement' slowly build up to a crescendo that explodes into 'Without Reason', backed with Gregorian chants, through the watery '...conquer' with it's military style drumbeats, the very short '...epilogue' and the very silent and sparse 'The Entire Silence'. Those with an ear for new wave neo-classical instrumental will not be disappointed.
