'Their 1992 2nd album of dense filmic atmospheres and orchestral instrumentation. Occasional bursts of factory noise, industrial rumblings and disembodied german voices form the backdrop to a minimalist reworking of Kafka's "The Trial." Right from the opening orchestral bombast the lush and filmic score of The Scribbler captures the essence of Kafka's Prague. Verhagen has noted that composers such as Michael Nyman and Philip Glass influenced the orchestral minimalist style of The Scribbler.'
