Produced by Guy Segers and Alan Ward for Carbon 7

Recorded at Noise Studio, tel Aviv

Art by Uri Dushy

Track: 1- Souls for Sale, 2- Strychnine for Christmas, 3- Reve De Fer

Highly Experimental music, disonant, with a really amazing work done by the winds section. But, above all, here we have excelent compositions. It is really interesting to see how this songs have a structure but at the same time leave enough room for great improvisations and experimentations. Spectacular track "Strychnine for Christmas" great musicians. The CD is done in three parts ...threee long tracks, one of them of more than 27 minutes of duration. There is an excelent guitar work in all the labum that reminded me some of the best things by King Crimson (Adrian Belew era). It is really surprising the fact that Present includes a lot of keyboards and mellotron that makes the sound os the band really progressive. Favorite tracks: The whole album. Contact: www.carbon7.com
