Niels van Hoorn and Richard van Kruysdijk's project Strange Attractor will release Rorschach II in December 2005. This is the obvious successor to the first Strange Attractor LP. Again, it shifts from jazzy ambience to clicky pop songs to post-rock to experimental "whatever" and is always on the edge of contemporary production.

Rorschach II features Edward Ka-Spel, Richard Sinclair and Marie-Caludine Vanvlemen (Sonar Lodge) as guest vocalists. Fans of Robert Wyatt will recognize Sinclair from his performance on Wyatt's legendary Rock Bottom album.

As an extra bonus, Rorschach II features a Twilight Circus remix of the title track from the first LP!
