REVIEWS:
"the course kicks off with staggered guitar strum + abstract electronics + slow motion drumkit, very brief, like a mellow take on eusa kills-dead c; strange pulses & voices take over on track 2, with the full transformation to electronic weirdism taking place in track 3, the appropriately titled "datafetus", a strange birth of static & high pitched drone--my favorite of the three. a nice arc overall to the whole release." Glenn Donaldson, Jewelled Antler

"Another one which is just as hot off the presses is Grey Park's eminently titled A Preparatory Course for Agents Going Abroad. "Oranssi Valo" is a short instrumental based around strummed electric guitar, a tapestry of gentle electronics and laid-back percussion. It's the sound of a chilly, particularly gray November morning, or maybe music of a mind in a similar mood. Its melancholic psych/folk vibe is replaced by the electronic hymn which is "Syyskuussa". It displays a sound that ebbs and flows naturally, employing silence as much as any electronic tool or sample to get where it's going. Waves of electronics move into radio static and in the next some bizarre samples are repeated incessantly. The whole thing strikes me a bit as hearing the inner voices of a damaged mind. If "Syyskuussa" offers a glimpse of the damaged mind, then the closing "Datafetus" surely must be the quiet destruction of the same. Shrieking tones fill the air with tension and vibrations before it slowly fades away." Mats Gustafsson, Broken Face

"Grey Park also deserves some discussion as it's actually even better than Tivol. Instead of rocking it just undercuts the entire rational trappings of music and goes on from there to butcher three or four musical genres simultaneously, blasting a big fucking cannon off at the decks of anyone who still listens to music from a major label. I listened to this one twice and it never disappointed." Chris Moon, Blastitude

"more Finnish strangeness: starts with a wistful guitar led instrumental and then delves into weird electronics: one track a swooping synth over a tribal drum, the other a mass of buzzing." Boa Melody Bar

"some nice folk-psych acoustic guitar strumming gives way to a fully electronic sonic bath." Time-Lag
