Sea Wanton: "...the next NOVA dancers will bring more hope than those killers ..." (2024, Berlin, Germany)

our latest product is named 'Geri Reig 2.0'

"Non Toxique Lost (NTL) gets better and better with each new release, and this is their best album yet in my personal opinion. Each and every song contained here is just as good as the next all sticking to a similar avant rock style. While there are some similarities here to their previous release "vas tell i prana", this is a much more fully realized album that flows extremely smoothly from beginning to end. The songs are a mixture of creative, varied and textured electronic sounds and effects combined with driving (bass ??) beats placed over well orchestrated haunting melodies finished off by Sea Wanton’s throat work that is a combination of both angry snarling and melodic crooning. The overall feel of the album is monotonous and sinister like a soundtrack to a sci-fi horror film. NTL does an excellent job here of combining upbeat tempos with strange harmonies and memorable choruses. I’m also very pleased to report that there are vocals on each track. NTL has managed to meld their usual vocal heavy style with their instrumental style to make for songs that are a blend of both in one. This allows for the songs to be very interesting and enjoyable to listen to from beginning to end many times over again. While there are a few tracks here that would definitely be big hits out on the club floor, this is not just a shallow avant rock dance album meant to make you move. This music is for both the mind and body as it will intrigue you as you knod your head along to the grabbing beats. I especially feel that it’s enjoyable on headphones as there is so much happening in it. This is an album that didn’t leave my stereo for several days when I first got it. And even now it’s something that I reach for quite often as it has a unique edge about it that allows it to stand out of the crowd. This album is just as enjoyable from the beginning to the end without a bad track coming in to spoil the fun. This compilation is highly recommended to fans of NTL, as well as to those who enjoy avant rock that contains experimental electronics and club beats with haunting sci-fi moods and melody. This is yet another contender for album of the year." Mitch Kolywaski, Brisbane, 2024
