The spoken text used in "Finned Alive" is by Leif Elggren

"Conceptually inspired by George Monbiot’s article “feeding frenzy” (www.monbiot.com/2007/04/03/feeding-frenzy/) this collaboration, that took almost 2 years to accomplish, can be seen either as a play of harsh sound cut-ups or a tightly composed musique concrète racket that will sit on your face and ears like a jellyfish, or as a political statement about the deterioration of an ecosystem.
As it struck like a punch into noise-below’s stomach sometimes last year upon hearing the pre-master of it, i am sure that the same will happen to you, as a strange host will plant an entire ecosystem of sounds in your head!"

--- Nicolas Malevitsis - noise-below.org ---
