"There are creations in art history, which can‘t be rated by time. Such is creation by PBK (Phillip B. Klingler) and his album 'Life-Sense Revoked', created in the end of last century. The listener can‘t know anything about artist‘s biography, about context of this album, but can feel timeless ideas. It is experimental and ageless work of it‘s special abstract noisy ground of sound and conceptual point of theme.
Tracks are various, not so similar, every has individual melody, sounds and touch with artist‘s inner goals. All of them express dark world of human being, but some of them are more in good mood, some – in more dark. Names of tracks, like of album, remind dadaistic play with words and meanings. For example, 'Beauty's Punishment'. Short, but catching song about beauty and it‘s other dark side. Another similar song is 'Courage Collage'. Idea of this work, like of all album, can be interpreted in many meanings - just playing with words and musical sounds or it is more deeply or both at the same time. In these two songs dominates memorable woman voice, which captures the attention and sounds pleasantly. These tracks remind view of perfomance‘s aesthetics. More different are other tracks with more noisy sounds. Two tracks about 'State Of Flux' make feel this state, but this process is not even hard and uncomfortable. The first version is more tender of sounds, the second has more strident noises, like good and bad side of flux. About similar process of moving is 'Nekritskan Encapsulate', 'Shimmering Substance' songs. The names of tracks help to imagine these processes more clearly.
More ambient songs are 'Crime Of Trespass', 'To Wish, To Contradict', 'Outside Of Time' and 'Cabalistic Personage'. In their dominates steady melody with some noisy sounds. Similar is and the first song 'Thugadeno', but with more noisy steady melody and harsh noises. This song is extented in the last and the longest song 'Cabalistic Personage', which maybe summarizes all tracks in one progressive deep noise ambient and tree of life meaning.
'Life-Sense Revoked' name can be interpreted and named like one of successful ventures to represent what is not visible by eyes in last life of art, but live and important in nowadays. There can be mentioned felicitous words of Joseph Beuys (German conceptualist artist): 'I didn‘t care to appeal to logic, I care to open all traces in subliminal mind and to make them mix by form of chaotic process, for everything, which is new, the beginning is always chaotic'." (Heathen Harvest)
"More excellent abstracted sound sculptures from this amazing artist, including some collaborative pieces with Jarboe, Hands To, AMK, and Brian Ladd. Some truly unique and varied sonic textures here, easily transcending the boundaries between experimental noise and soundtrack styles." (Godsend)
