 THE COUNT – Zero
Considering the immense intensity with which some people analyse and admire the diversity of the gothic community (which is in fact a justifiable thing to do), artists may certainly increase their wonder whether it is possibly to combine this apparently inexhaustible diversity of styles at least on a musical level.
Zero is of significantly unique variety from Oliver’s classically distorted voice to densely arranged Sythie-parts to romantic melodies on the piano.
THE COUNT’s second longplayer (Zero follows the first demo-CD Leave Humanity In Dust) covers an incredibly broad spectrum of atmospheres – at times in a ghostly, mechanical darkness, then embedded in a yearning sound pattern by mourning, romantic melodies only to be daydreaming or rocking aggressively the very next moment.

 Why do programmers count from zero?
Even though I understand that they really don't absolutely need that knowledge to do their jobs, it still amazes me that so few have it, and it surprises me even more that so many are apt to have a very negative attitude toward the subject.
I think that if sort were re-written today, it would probably not have that 0 offset syntax, but when it was written, most all of the people likely to use it understood base plus offset programming and it would have seemed unnatural to them to say "sort +1" if they wanted the first field.
If that were the design, programmers would count from 1, arrays would never start at 0, and certain types of programming errors couldn't be made.

 REVIEW: Noxious Emotion – “Count Zero”
Better to be kings at one than jesters in all, says I. For some reason, Count Zero doesn’t grab me as much as Symbols did, but nonetheless it is a beautiful workup of mesmerizing beat-cracks and synthesized data-noise.
Then there’s Count Zero’s fourth track, Boundary, a song that starts on the slower side and trances in with my favored NE computeresque style – again it’s the sound of the data.
Noxious Emotion’s Count Zero is a strong release.

It was great to see Sally Shears back, and the Count was a fine young successor to the Matrix jockeys of the first book in the Sprawl Trilogy.
