øjeRum – The Limited Circle Is Pure (Album – Cyclic Law)
Genre/Influences: Cinematic, Experimental.
Format: Digital, CD.
Background/Info: Paw Grabowski has released an endless number of productions over the past fifteen years. The Danish project appears to be a real label shopper but now strikes back to Cyclic Law unleashing an extended, single, track entitled “The Limited Circle Is Pure”.
Content: The track holds you in its grip for 30 minutes. The Ambient mood is built up from a quiet, abyssal, sound canvas which has been progressively joined by discrete, extra, sound treatments.
+ + + : øjeRum injects a kind of mysterious, relaxing, touch to the dark label roster of Cyclic Law. It however has a visual strength creating surreal images which are totally matching with the front cover of the work.
– – – : Just a single track isn’t a major problem but it rapidly starts to sound linear. I’m missing diversity.
Conclusion: øjeRum remains hard to label and hard to catch.
Best songs: “The Limited Circle Is Pure”.
Rate: 6½.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
