Hello,

Here is a new review of Wilt's "As giants watch over us" (Ad Noiseam
adn35 CD), courtesy of the Static Signals webzine:

"As Giants Watch Over Us is a work that demands a listener's full
attention... but in return offers nearly infinite rewards."

Here is a new review of Wilt's "As giants watch over us" (Ad Noiseam

I read there:
"Progressing from his mostly atmospheric works, Wilt now integrates new
elements into his encompassing sound, implementing cut-ups, modern
electronics and a multitude of different styles."

Then I go for listening the mp3s. Maybe their selection was not very
relevant, but I see something equally atmospheric, can't get anything
more atmospheric than that. That much for the multitude of styles, don't
we all love reviewer's language :) Don't get me wrong. I have nothing
against Wilt (although it's not my style) but that review is at least
misleading.

Having released this CD, I am biased, of course, but I don't think that
this review is misleading. If you compare Wilt's "As giants watch over
us" to some other dark ambient / dark noise release, or even to most of
his past output, you'll see that he actually incorporates a lot of
different elements. Yes, it stays ambient, and there is no salsa or
reggae to be found in this CD, but it has a lot more shades and
variations that, let's say an Archon Satani, a Lustmord or a Raison
d'Etre album.
Then, the point is also that the compositions are built in a new way for
Wilt, with, yes, a lot of cut-ups and breaks. There is no beat, so this
is not obvious, but I think you can still notice it from the mp3s on the
site.

Ok I didn't argue with that, although now when you mention it again I
came to think that those cut-ups are actually too thoroughfully
transitioned to be properly called cut-ups anymore. But I'm digressing.
I somehow expected something else by reading the words 'progressing
from' like in 'moved away', while he actually just changed his position
while sitting in the same place :D

Mmm... I wouldn't say this, as there is a real change in his sound. It
is definitely more a progression than a complete shift, though.

Now you lost me.
