Overview:

I will begin with a possible Iggy Pop lyric if he were to remake 'Funtime': "I was down in the lab hanging around with Holger and U-She". First, let me say that I like the 'warning' on the back of the CD case which reads "Featuring unconventional sound adventures and daring endeavors in new music." As if some fan of modern music (ie. Korn, Britney Spears, or N'SYNC) is gonna pick this one up by mistake... LOL!!! Recorded in 1995, 'La Luna' is a forty-seven minute ambient piece which navigates the listener through dark, droning, repetitive passageways along with brooding and occasionally quirky electronic corridors. The first half of the journey is dominated by a repetitive electronic drum pattern and a reverberating electronic pattern which at times brings a dreamy almost floating quality to the track. The track also contains a hypnotic pulse which is oddly reminiscent of a human heart beat. There is even a part in the middle in which U-She can be heard reciting a mantra for the moon. Although I have not tried doing so, I imagine that this CD would be best listened to with headphones. This track provides a great ambience for those times when you just want to lay on the couch, close your eyes, and drift away. Whether it appeals to you as a listener will depend on your tastes, but electronics gurus should find it pleasureful listening. [3/5 Doug]
