"Black Series 21 – A collection of unreleased and rare vinyl tracks from 2000-2007 issued in an edition of 500 numbered copies. The evidence presents a melancholic children’s bedtime story starring Clara Rockmore's Dog; avant-garde piano instrumental; mirror, mirror on the wall - complex melting instrumental installation Madrigal; compilation appearing burdensome, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and an anonymous Karjaa in springtime.

"....In BLRR's very successful Black Series Melancholicus Anonymus is a great addition. Here we get a series of previously released tracks as well as the obligatory unreleased bonus track, all recorded between 2000-2007. The CD begins with Clara Rockmore Dog, one of my personal favorite tracks. Somewhere between a children's nighttime story and a bizarre twisted tale, Ka-Spel's deep sonorous voice tells the story of two dogs who both meet their fate to a background of whizzing and whirling sounds. There is more spoken word with added abstract background in the form of the 20 minute The Evidence Of Absence from the LP of the same title. Clara Rockmore's Dog b-side Stars On Some Days features some beautiful reverberated piano. The CD also includes two tracks previously released on 10-inch gallery edition albums Meltdown and Complex, both of which sell for quite a lot of money on the internet. Whereas Meltdown features the ambient/abstract soundscape you've come to expect, Complex is a beautiful short-spoken word wonder. The unreleased track is Karis In The Spring, which is another ambient piece of work with distorted keyboards. A treat therefore for the Ka-Spel completist." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
