Feb 1, 2013The echoes of previously heard themes, motifs make for a compelling examination of memory and experience as much as for an effective soundtrack.

Jan 22, 2013Marked with woe from beginning to end, BerberianSoundStudio is closer to antichrist than Hallelujah, but Broadcast reminds you that divinity is intrinsic with death.

Jan 7, 2013Berberian Sound Studio is like a notebook filled with a lost love's handwriting.

Jan 3, 2013What prevents Berberian Sound Studio from being a genre exercise is the care taken to paper over the cracks, to find some common ground between droney, Popol Vuh-type material ("Valeria's Burial (Under the Fort)") and more visceral horror soundtrack work (the positively seething "The Game's Up").
