this is what boomkat wrote about it.
The caliginous shadow of Svarte Greiner (aka Erik K Skodvin) returns once more to wreak havoc on all who lend a severed ear, and this time he comes with a wretched familiar, the Dadaist jester and Ono label-curator Keswick Lemon (aka Michael Holland). The two mischievous spirits have put their broken minds together to come up with an hour-long mix of tumult and faux-splendour, with half an hour procured from each tortured soul. First up is Skodvin and for those of you lucky enough to have consumed his emissions on the Type label you should already have an idea what to expect. Bolt your windows and doors and make sure your house wasn't built on an ancient Indian burial ground, this is music to crumble your soul and facilitate your innermost desires. Tracks from Norwegian metal-terrorists Noxagt, Canadian alt-hiphop man Sixtoo and Finnish weird-folkies Paavoharju are cruelly spliced with lesser-known gems from The Grey Field Recordings, Dubbing Mixers and Francois Tetaz, but this is not about the tracklist – it's about the mood, and what that mood is capable of inducing. Let's just say you'd better make sure you have an alibi handy. Holland continues this murderous theme wonderfully with some abstract cross-eyed cuts from well-known purveyers of musical mayhem John Cage, Spunk, Matmos, Sunburned Hand of the Man and Volcano the Bear interspersed with rarities from Twine and Machinefabriek among others. All in all we are left with a diverse, challenging and devilishly enjoyable selection, mixed supremely by our two ungracious hosts. If this is the sound of Norway, I'm on the next flight to Oslo, never mind the cost of beer! Limited to only 80 copies and coming on CDR only with hand-made artwork this won't last long, and is hopefully an indication of oddness to come from the Ono imprint.
