Bjørn's Review:
Latest Album from Electronica Innovatores Christian Fennesz, Peter "Pita" Rehberg and Jim
O`Rourke. Definitely Not for every taste, sounds a bit like a bad trip on acid. They should have their own religion each and everyone in this band :)

Review:
This is the collaboration between musicians from Dreamscape n Sieges Even. I have yet to go through the Sieges Even discography, though i have listened to their "The Art Of Navigating By The Stars" a couple of times. Dreamscape on the other hand have released some killer albums, like their 2007 classic "5th Season".
This album is their second release, n i would say the music is a bit softer than what im used to from Dreamscape, but the melodies here r rly good n progressive. Vocalist Arno Menses contributes a lot to the bands sound, with his distinct voice. All in all a rly good record w many highlights.
They will release a new full-length next year.
