First released on CDR, limited edition of 93 copies, hand-numbered, in hand-painted sleeve.

This release was inspired by and conceived in the post-Living Room limbo, a temporary state of darkness in the middle of the brightest summer. Tracks 1 and 3 were recorded in live performances during Spring 2005. Track 2 constructed from location recordings made in Spring & Summer 2005.

"When the darkness grows denser, I would penetrate to its very core and ground, and would not rest until amid the pain a light appeared to me, for in excessu affectus Nature reverses herself. I would turn in rage against myself and with the heat of my rage I would melt my lead. I would renounce everything and engage in the lowest activities should my depression drive me to violence. I would wrestle with the dark angel until he dislocated my hip. For he is also the light and the blue sky which he withholds from me." – C.G. Jung 1959

Reviews:

"Exploding all conventions, Niko Skorpio explores regions rarely visited. This mix of doom, experimental and delicate dark ambiance pleases more than it frightens, yet without seeming to try. In the end we come out of this experience with a head full of new possibilities and musical arrangements (this, the same brain that is usually too narrow to understand the complex and steep steps). An unforgettable and intoxicating experience." (GIAG)

"The first piece starts out in a very dark ambient industrial vein, not unlike old Archon Satani or Inanna, but noise prevails towards the end of the piece. The other two pieces are a bit shorter, but here too a strong retro sound of the good old days of ambient industrial (synthesizers and reverb) zips through. It's dark, it's deep and it plays the card of mood music very well." (Vital Weekly)
