 Jarl "Fragile Confrontation" CD - AVERSIONLINE.COM
This full-length sees Sweden's Jarl once more offering up a number of lengthy untitled tracks that explore the bleak and disturbing realms of dark ambient experimentation.
As seems to be a common case for Jarl, it's somewhat as though the entire release here could technically be viewed as one complete piece whose parts happen to stand on their own quite well.
However, this is a much more fluid and focused release than "Out of Balance", so while long and rather unwavering in its individual parts, this is a consistently enjoyable listen that achieves a strong sense of atmosphere throughout, so fans of minimal yet ominous dark ambient electronics should find this a worthy excursion.

In the morning of June 16 she anchored up outside Pantellaria harbour, and military personnel came on board, predicting that she would probably be sunk one way or another, either by aircraft or U-boats which were operating in the area, and unloading of her cargo seemed hopeless at that point.
The new escort finally came and signalled for Bruse Jarl to proceed to Suss, and all on board were rather disappointed as they had wanted to have the honour of being the first allied ship to deliver war materials to the first fallen European post of the Axis.
