Another wonderful left field recording to enjoy. Frajil's cassette is designed to encourage worship, prayer and meditation but the sleeve rightly points out that its use is only limited by your own vision. And Hadleigh Wilks (for he is Frajil) is right. Got to say I really like this if only because it's so different. Some would say that this noodling with noises isn't really music and Frajil acknowledges this on the sleeve by writing "you can't call this music". Clearly a sense of humour is in order here. The fact that these soundscapes have been created without using computers, dats or multitracking is testimony in itself to his ingenuity. What you actually get is a selection of stripped down sound-scapes creating atmosphere and plenty of interesting tinkering. This is not going to have wide commercial appeal and the sound quality of the cassette isn't crystal clear but there's enough here to appeal to you if you're in search of something off the beaten track.
