The album Wound Profile by Erik Jarl, the genius of Swedish electronics, previously released in a cassette, has now, after some processing of the record, come out as a CD in a very elegant digipack.

Unlike Erik's later music marked for its abstract structure and closer to drone style, the album Wound Profile can be characterised by emotional straightforwardness and brutality.

work here as an intronautic vessel in which you descend into the depths of subconsciousness.As much as at first this appears to be a demanding piece of work it’s utterly rewarding and eventually makes you wanna listen to it on and on and on...
"Phonophobia" is a kind of continuation of the subject matter of the previous release. While "Hyperacusis" was an attempt to explore this phenomenon and has shown it through the sound and final composition of songs directly influencing the peculiar nature of the album,
