This short ep supposed to come with KOTRA's new album DISSILIENT.
These new albums actually based on his precise digital noise found-
sound we heard in STIR MESH album and Fourfold Symmetry (together with Kim
Cascone, Andreas Berthling and Andrey Kiritchenko) project released by Nexsound in 2002. While DISSILIENT is more improvised, more structural complex, more powerfull and more fascinating, ACUTE is more 'danceble' and groovy.
