Reviews : unknown writer It's not really my job to write reviews about unfinished rehearsal tracks, but after hearing the other UDOM and IDNM material, it's quite interesting to see the evolution, as these tracks reflect the very beginning of UDOM and also gave an idea of what IDNM might offer in the future. I will start with IDNM, there's one track one this split by this project, at the time the album was released, IDNM was less than a month old and this track, 'Hibernus Silentius', that also appeared on the first IDNM album, 'Fade - Die', shows a very machine-like ambience that produces a certain dark and threathening atmosphere. There were no changes (except for some extra mastering and fixing the soundquality a bit) compared to the track as it appeared later on IDNM's first album. On to the UDOM tracks. Long, repetitive tracks, not as slow as the later material, but already showing the interest in 'unusual' sounds, like combining synths with electric guitars and long acoustic interludes. Both 'They Never Hope' and 'Silent Dreams' consist only out of acoustic and electric guitars, some synths and drums and several effected guitar interludes. A remarkable track is 'In The Mist', extremely minimalistic dronings, created only by manipulating a bass guitar and applying several effects to it...this track will later be put on 'Symphony II - Absence Of Life', in a shorter version and will enventually lead to the start of the project with the same title as this track. 'They Never Hope' changed a bit and ended up in two different versions on the 2 releases of 'Symphony I - Deep Dark Red'. From 'Silent Dreams', only the ambient guitar interlude was used as intro on the re-released version of 'Symphony I - Deep Dark Red'.
