Reviews:
More interested in the harmonic content of music than mere sound, CENTROZOON
shape chromatic spheres of dark atmosphere that are unlike anything that you
can hear in contemporary electronica these days. There's a sensibility of
musical dissonance and consonance that is closer to composers of the first
half of the 20th century like Anton Webern and Olivier Messiaen.

ANGEL LIQUOR refers to the spiritual nature of music: the muse, the good
fairy, the angelic, the spirits. It's orchestral ambient music with teeth,
featuring drastic multi-channel guitar treatments and quirky synth playing
and programming.

Relying almost entirely on autopoiesis, ANGEL LIQUOR was created in
real-time (i.e. improvised in the studio), with only minor editing and
post-processing to make the music album friendly. Audiophile analogue signal
paths were used during mixdown and mastering to further enhance the organic
and complex fractal nature of the intuitive compositions.

Parts of ANGEL LIQUOR were premiered at the ARS Electronica Festival in
Linz, Austria in 2004, although in slightly altered form, given the
participation of part-time CENTROZOON vocalist Tim Bowness (of No-Man). 2006
finally sees the release of this ambitious piece on the new and eclectic
Divine Frequency label.
