我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數：8.8/10
我印象中這是我聼過的第一張的挪威實驗音樂，也是聼過的第一張Rune Grammofon厰牌的音樂，大概因爲在大多數抽象圖案的封面中，它顯得有些與衆不同吧。我已經為之深深折服了，但是似乎在大多數網站上它的評分並不高，可能是真的太實驗，使得大多數人接受不了吧。Maja Ratkje這個女人怎是一個強字了得，她能似乎一個人能夠創造無數种聲音，用她的人聲加上模擬器，因爲這張專輯大部分曲目實際上並沒有什麽旋律，而幾乎是各種聲音的組合實驗。而她卻駕馭了一切，像變魔術般的，組成了一幅富有原始味道的可愛又瘋狂的畫卷，讓這張專輯聼上去那樣另類、那樣與衆不同。去豆瓣上看看。。。。。。
