"On this latest album of LOSD we're approaching a border where the term "music" turns out to be inadequate. More likely the expression lies somewhere between scientific theory and art of sound. After his brilliant Mort Aux Vaches-album entitled "The Man Who Mad Radio", L.O.S.D. has once more turned his attention towards the fundamental part of sound. The main source being used is sine waves in the lower range of the sound spectre. As the title "7 songs 77 frequencies" refers to, the album is divided into 77 tracks being parted into sets of tracks, resulting in seven "songs" of sine waves singing in their very own language. Starting out with 25 Hz the frequencies continually raises by 3 Hz until reaching 253 HZ at the final 77th track. As the first "song" opens, discreet pulses slowly turns faster and faster as one track follow the other until the 12th track. At this point everything turns silent before screeching noises wriggles inside the drones of subtle bass-lines, resulting in an almost ear-aching sound-level. And so the album changes expression from the inaudible low frequency drones to high pitched noises using a Wandel U. Goltermann RC Generator MG-47 for creating the sine waves. Sometimes jittery rhythmic and sometimes stagnant abstract expression, "7 songs 77 frequencies" represents an interesting but necessitating journey into the basic form of sound. Random play for optimum joy!" [Vital Weekly - NMP]
