*Rare original* "As you can tell from the additional description to the album title, this album and the compositions on it are a collection of sound illustrations for performances, performances, dances, films and plays (mostly in the spirit of early cinematography and early century theatre, one would think). Illustrations, stylistically very different. From rather sad interludes, which for some reason remind me personally of films like Silence, Sadness, Silence with  to 'saspienza' moments, with strings straining in silence for a few notes, to surprisingly moving rock'n'roll sketches on the piano and crazy "jogging" on the keyboard to the accompanying tapping/clacking of rhythm box drums. Of course, since all the music is played on electronic instruments, it's not without experimentation. And then, among all other avant-garde, synth sounds get "cosmic" in some places, and drums in general turn into acoustic and play the roles of already "tribal" and exotic.

In accordance with its title, all (or most) of the music on the album is imbued with the theme of mysticism, and therefore, you should listen to it just like watching a movie in the theatre or watching a play in the theatre, with the lights dimmed or turned off altogether. After listening to this album I'd like to continue, and after it to include some recording of French project Art Zoyd or Italian Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata (for example, their "Piogga Su Carne Di Cavallo"), which is similar to it in mysticism, but by no means more serious, in contrast to joke-child, "Toilet" format, music of Dominique Laurent. Tenebres et Azures, by the way, I find the composition The Veil Of The Abyss of the aforementioned T.A.C. very close in its narrative/mood, if such comparison, of course, can be made, as the difference between them is very, and even simply incomparably big. Both of them, by the way, besides somewhat gloomy and mystical mood and the fact that the compositions are among the closing ones, both of them use some kind of "crow's call". It's so beautiful, it's a sight to behold.
All in all, the sound and music of this album is quite characteristic of the music of the 60's rather than the 80's in which it was recorded. But that's perhaps its added value." - Library Music
