By modulating an immobile and chilling sound fabric into an electronic spasm propagated to infinity, an English band formerly known as industrial-noise called Nurse With Wound in 1988 creates and outlines a gigantic, experimental, avant-garde and extreme work, impressive in size and sound choices.
Eight movements of almost twenty minutes each, eight synthetic, cold and atonal fragments built on a conceptual electronic derivation of "cosmic", a sound without a beginning and without an end, motionless and eternal in its twisting upon itself and repeating endlessly. Nurse With Wound interpret in their own way the lesson imparted in the previous decade by the German cosmic giants, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and Cluster, and if the enormous works of electronic sound research by the "kosmische kourier" explored a universe in continuous movement and expansion imploding upon itself and intoxicated by a dreamlike fury, in this work the universe explored is still, immobile, condemned to darkness and sidereal staticity.
The slow and icy sound fluctuations immerse in titanic electronic drones, thus outlining a regular and constant sound progression like the motion of a tide, the breath of the cosmos, the rotation of a planet around a celestial body. The movements of the work advance in their static, slow and perpetual oscillation between supernatural galactic spirals and masses of artificial inputs dedicated to activating sentient cybernetic beings, enchanted by the "Soliiloquio Per Lilith".

"Soliloquy for Lilith is inscrutable, indeed, it is inscrutability made into 'music'."
"Soliloquy for Lilith is an empty Pandora’s box, a crypt without the dead, the Sistine Chapel painted with oil, it is the Mariana Trench of music."
