Review from Vitalweekly.net

(...) Noise is also the trade mark of Tetsuo Furudate, who is someone I never could figure out. Sometimes I think he's one of the serious composer guys and sometimes I think he's one of noise boys. You never really know, but one thing is sure: his work is dark to utter-dark, with no shade of light in between. This new work, inspired by TS Eliot's poem 'The Hollow Men' is no different. It starts out with a good ten minutes of water dripping, but then a few sudden bangs will surely wake you up and before you know it, you are in a total land of noise, longing for perhaps a moment of more relaxing. That won't happen until after the thirty minute break when things settle down in an unsettling way. It's hard to tell what Furudate uses - maybe just guitar and electronics and a bit of field recordings - but in this quieter part, lasting maybe some twelve minutes, we hear some of the orchestral traces in his work, and which is something I always would like to investigate a bit more. This part, while dark, is quite moving. From minute forty-four until pretty much the end things are quite loud again, but darker, lower in tone, like a thunderous storm passing in the middle of the night. Most definitely not music for weak of hearth. It is good? I don't know. It's certainly something that inspires you to think.
