You’re at the height of the Goritsa Hill, Volos, Greece. Obscuring your view of the sea is the AGET Heracles Cement Factory.

The album’s glorious power comes in its coalescence of sounds — the industrial and the pastoral, EBM as folk music — obscenely mirrored by the widespread levelling of concrete.
