"in september 2003, it all started with a compilation, and now it all ends with a compilation. what else could be such a good way to witness the label's progress through almost 2 years of its existence, as well as the progress of its artists, especially with some of those featured in this final compilation having been featured in surfaces netlabel's very first collective release? here are 11 tracks that trip from sparse ambience to soothing noisy walls of sound. 'by way of conclusion' may easily be one of the best surfaces releases. it is intended to be an impressive and persuasive leaving with a lasting impression. enjoy the very last sounds of surfaces netlabel!
the compilation is mastered by mckaras (lt)" (From the Surfaces' release page)

"as you remember, lithuanian artist electro has contributed a track to surfaces' starting release, [srfc001] va -- surfaces compilation. now it's time for a full album. 'moments of absence' is a gallery of darker sides of music. electro is very much into dubby minimalistic drum sequences, fast and slow breakbeats, dark digitized atmospherics and reverberated tripping sounds. the work is quite diverse, which is an obvious plus: from dubby minimalism to dark downbeat, deep static techno and even melancholic drum'n'bass in the closing, all in electro's own, distinctive sounding. everything is sharp, precise, somewhat cold, yet very emotional and vivid. surfaces' favourite is the 'background of tomorrow', but others are just as beautiful. if you enjoy deep, dark, rich sounds - don't miss this album, it's very much worth having for the darker moments and moods of the mid-autumn" (From the Surfaces' release page)
