Stockholm’s centipede Fredrik Djurfeldt is a musician of multiple talents. Besides being the front man of EBM act Severe Illusion, and being part of the fantastic ALVAR, this Swedish artist also has a much darker and more obscure side/project; Analfabetism. With this alter ego he fully exposes and exploits the world's dark-ambient and noisey soundscapes. This particular album he dedicated to Sten... Sten being Fredrik's cat that has sadly passed away... On this album, Rotvälta (Swedish for a turned over tree root - hence the cover artwork), Herr Djurfel, as he calls himself, used sounds which somehow seemed to move Sten. So we can say, together, they created six lengthy dark and doomy sound tapestry tracks, almost all exceeding an equal amount of minutes. Take your favourite drink in hand, sit or lay down on your most comfortable couch, switch off the light, turn on this album... and shiver! I bet many candlelight fantasy board game players will dig this soundtrack while chopping up Orks and Gremlins. If you are a fan of dark, ominous, industrial ambient soundscapes you should definitely check this out!
