Chances are you're much more familiar with (the previous works of) Sutcliffe Jugend than I am, which is to say, very little. Rather than rehash Kevin Tomkin and Paul Taylor's previous noise/power electronics history, let me just say that 'Blue Rabbit' seems to be quite different than anything else they've attempted. It's sort of an ambient album, with a certain amount of subtlety for these guys, although it's chock full of electro-acoustic sounds. Musically, it's not far removed from some of the releases on Vresnit's Vetvei label but there is an insidious creepiness throughout the eight tracks of this little over an hour soundscape that makes it extremely unsettling. There is also an undercurrent of vocal recitation that occasionally surfaces, that has something to do with the abominable short story inside the digipak involving a little girl and her pink and blue stuffed rabbits. It's a depraved tale of self-mutilation that will make you reconsider the innocence of stuffed bunnies and/or little girls. For me, this became a little too problematic to appreciate the album as its theme and soundscape are so intertwined.

It's really too much to describe everything on this album, but the last track, 'The Death of Pornography' deserves some description. It employs several different types of staticy noises, drones, small feedback bursts, rattling, child voices, sustained string plucks, that (aforementioned) vocal recitation, electronic sounds, flutey intonations, a stuttering harmonica, and eventually, what sounds like a mournful goose honking intermittently. It's weird, and cacophonous, but still brilliant in a way. Perhaps that's what I find so disturbing about this album. If it weren't for this thread of child-mutilating psychosis thematically woven throughout 'Blue Rabbit' I'd be inclined to laud it as a commednable work, but as is, I cannot condone it or recommend it.
