All the tracks on this album are based on material composed especially for a French play called "Les Chambres D’oedipe", an adaptation of Hölderlin’s translation of "oedipus Tyrant", by Sophocles. Once again, Gabriel Severin and Marc Medea lead the listener into a strange, dark, and threatening parallel sound universe. Those familiar with Silk Saw’s former works might be surprised by the unusual straight ahead beats on some tracks, but soon the typical Silk Saw rhythmic patterns take over. Usually Silk Saw avoids the use of voices but in this production the sometimes manipulated embedded vocals compliment and add to the soundscapes. Also noticeable are the very strong sub-basses and unusual ( for Silk Saw ) distorted noises which transform the frightening and sometimes aggressive atmosphere to a fitting climax.
