Limited edition of 210 copies, hand-numbered.

Produced by Niko Skorpio & Reptiljan. B1 features Wyrtti aka Mockingwyrd (bass) and B2 features Ovro (voice).

This rare EP documents a curious spot of transition in the work of both Niko Skorpio and Reptiljan (here considered separate entities each), strange rhythmic musick oozing from the temporary inbetween-space that appeared while working on two separate albums at the same time, back in the summer of 2003. Four tracks, some of which ended up in altered form on the Reptiljan album The Hellbender Suite. Track 4 features a rare, early appearance by Ovro on vocals.

Reviews:

"Four song EP bears witness to over-activating mind and intelligence, as the end result is the dilemma of two simultaneous albums. Silence is King is like modernized Mac-funk — a grade more chaotic than the basics of funk-music, of course — combined with grinding breakcore and digital dub. After a short noise-ish inhalation even Kellogg’s crispies start talking their own language. I think I’ll write to them that my crispies are talking completely different language than in the ads. After a juicy trip of magnetism you don’t have to listen to music under any other influence than imagination, as the alter egos of realism and surrealism meet their own surrogate. Who said decorative expressionism is mockname, what?" (Inferno)

"The title piece is a distorted funk piece with a computer voice which gradually fades over into noise. Downsampling sounds is the basic idea for Snap Crackle Pope In The Ear Tunnel Of Love and results into a strange, alienated piece of music. Bassfinder General is a place where breakbeats and grindcore meet - I had to check: but I played it really at 33 rpm and it's still sounds five times too fast. As a counterpoint, Kafka Dreams is almost dubby, with a female vocal somewhere. Strangely fucked up computer cum techno music in four different directions - that makes a nice EP." (Vital Weekly)
