4 stars Well... 2 years ago, i had a "hot moment" with my girlfriend, with THRaKaTTaK like a background sound. Very, very weird, but fascinating! Atonal classic music likes me, and listen it in a rock language is one of my extasis in music. Simple words like "it's funny" are better for explain the disc than intelligent/conceptual analysis. The ludic music says all.

Obviously, if a person enjoy only music with post-renacentist harmony, THRAKaTTaK are not for him. It's hard to listen the first time, but the musican's comunication is very well, and combine with intelligence the peace and chaotic sections. It's important to remember: THRAKaTTaK is a combination of a lot of concerts, with ad-libitum improvisations. It's not a conceptual disc, it's not a long-time study work. THRaKaTTaK is a compendium of the seed of projeKcts. The comparison of the improvs of 1995 in B'Booom or THRAK looks the lack of the "new formation" in experience to improvisation. THRaKaTTaK is a notorious advance on this: more tools to make the music, more "arsenal of sounds", and more freedom to construct it. 5 improvisations, 5 diferent concerts... and the 5 improvs don't have any similarity..! An esplendid photography between KC and the Proyects.

I recommend this disc to people what wish to expand their music apreciation to some chaotic/noise/"like my city" music. With some audio train, music like THRaKaTTaK or bands like Ground Zero from Japan have a lot of occult beautiful jewels to offer.

(Sorry for my poor english) Enjoy the disc.
