IN THE NURSERY
Scatter
(ITN Corporation)

Expressing emotions through music is, at its best, difficult, and for many artists it's downright impossible. Think of the strongest feelings: ecstasy, agony, fear and anger. All of these are hit square on by the passionate hypnotic beauty of In The Nursery's music. 'Scatter' gathers material from ITN's back catalogue covering the tortured classical -dance of Twins and soundtrack-like power of Duality, as well as one-off rarities such as Epitaph, Seraphic and ITN's remix of the Sabres Of Paradise's Haunted Dancehall.

Moods and atmospheres are stretched and amplified by Klive and Nigel Humberstone's use of military snares, huge orchestral sounds, programmed electronics and vocal treatments., filling each track with more emotive elegance than anyone - ever.

Scatter isn't so much an album as a sentimental education. Don't let yourself ignore this release.
