Although "Hafted Maul" was chronologically released first, it technically was
the second Dead Voices on Air release, as "New Words Machine" on Cleopatra
Records was the true DVOA debut album. If one has the luxury of owning all
three DVOA releases they can play them all back to back and will begin to
notice the obvious movement from a long drawn out ambient orchestral
arrangement towards a more finite level of sample deconstruction and
manipulation. "Hafted Maul" lies tettering on the edge of both musical voids
and as such utilizes excerpts from both schools of compositional style. As a
result both extremely short and tenuously long arrangements exist next to each
other on the album developing a sort of epochal wave form which lulls the
listener into a ambient veil of seduction just long enough to throw them
kicking and screaming into the abyss of cacophony which lies at the
reciprocating end of the bell curve. "Hafted Maul" by far exhibits the most
diverse range of musical elements that Mark Spybey has available to him and
thereby ends up standing out as a glimmering icon amongst his other solo work.
