This is quite an unusual little 3-way split. First I get battered with two harsh digital noise tracks, each sounding quite similar- the first from Mattin and the second from Gen 26. These tracks share a similar approach in their unrelenting walls of digital static. It's kind of intriguing in a trance-inducing sort of way, but things get a little stale after a minute or so. The last two tracks belong to Batur Sonmez, and these are by far the most interesting things on the disc. Some of the harsh digital sounds remain, but they are mixed into fields of organic delayed drones. Overall, the feel is more dynamic and the atmosphere is aesthetically rich and varied. I like how [&] is highlighting Slovenian artists, and while I'm not completely sold on this 3" cdr, I think that future offerings might be worth checking out. 6/10 --
