"Music-wise, this release is two heavy guitar-based compositions spanning 30 minutes, with lots of pulsation and a throbbing /threatening atmosphere. Maybe think the massiveness of Sunn O))) mainly on track two, but then without the chord changes or intense freakiness (jazz noise?!?) on the first track. This music is not for everybody, but if these heavy guitar noise explosions are your thing ... I mean, there is literally no moment of rest or peace somewhere in this track. And the codeword in the last sentence is indeed 'peace' because the complexity comes to its climax. A quote from Wiki: "In the Battle of Blood River Poort on 17 September 1901, a Boer commando led by Louis Botha crushed a British force commanded by Major Hubert Gough during the Second Boer War." Track 2 carries the title "Blood River Poort", while track one is titled "Vryheidsoorlog", another name for the mentioned South African Boer War. So how and where do two guys from Estonia creating guitar noise get theidea to do an album themed about a South African war between the Transvaal Colonists and the British Empire? And what is their message about the subject? But I started the review with the word complex, right?"-Vital Weekly

Chefkirk
Giant Size
(Love Earth Music)
Eight distinctive works for electronics and sound from the alter ego of Roger H. Smith, using noise, percussive elements and unusual synthetics, layered around static and arpeggiated rhythms and punctuated with strange asides, the works run from 3:14 to 18:37 and were developed over a year and half; an excellent introduction to the sonic diversity Chefkirk revels in.
