The second of five releases became available actually at the beginning of 2009 and was indicated by the subtitle "To The New World", and the first part was called "Old World". In such a way attention was attracted to the fact that samples for the second part were made in the USA, where the basic work with the compositions was conducted. In the first four tracks of Xerrox vol.2 one can feel more freedom and ambient. The feeling is as if the vice of technologies unclamped their grip let out some more primary beauty of live sounds. In general I would say that the second part of Xerrox is less structured. Even after the powerful and noisy final part "Xerrox Meta Phaser" which bursts the surrounding space, "Xerrox Sora" returns the listener closer to the sounding of vol.1, the feeling of freedom and space doesn't leave you. Well, in general, having left the concept and style of the sounding, with the second of five discs Carsten Nicolai brought something new to the whole series, he added a particular intrigue. Well, let's see, what will be further in vol.3, vol.4 and vol.5, that's very interesting...
