Megavoid
17 April 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is a beautiful album, indeed. It most definitely takes a different approach to his music as compared to 'Heresy' or 'Place Where The Black Stars Hang.'
But, this doesn't make it bad; it's still as dark as any of his others were. If you're willing to accept anything other than 'ambient', it won't phase you.
Comparing this to any of the aforementioned albums, of course there will be differences. 'Metavoid' has the same quality, beauty, and composition value as any of his other works, the only change being, is that it's a completely different genre, but most certainly not "Spacey Industrial Jazz."
The tracks sound as if there's a building up to a war, or as the notes say "A Soundtrack To The Apocalypse." 'A Light That Is Darkness,' being an awesome climax, into 'Insifnifigance' which is a sorrowful and even depressing outro. It leaves one with a feeling of being stunned, quite stunned.

On another note; from what B. has shown us, there is no way that he could ever sell out. If you're going to be so tight up about having everything as straight-edge ambient, go listen to 'Zoetrope' or his newly released 'Carbon/Core.' These two albums harken back to the familiar days of caves and black holes, save a few minutes of the final tracks.

Great Lustmord Ambience
13 Jun 2007
Format:Audio CD
I don't know why some people think this album is bad, couldn't be further from the truth. If you like dark ambient, you'll like it, if you like Lustmord you'll like it. Just because he used different elements or if it sounds soundtrack like doesn't mean he sold out, it's why I actually love this disc. I'd love to see Lustmord do more soundtracks for movies in fact.

Outside the narrow confines of our intellect
16 Oct 2001
Format:Audio CD
The production on the album is truly amazing, with sound that surrounds, then swallows you whole. Guaranteed to never be played on any radio station, as music of this caliber is much to confronting for the simple minded masses. Metavoid is a crowning achievment in dark, moody, electronic sound design and a testament to the effect of music on mood. With albums like this who needs mind expanding drugs? I do! Next time you are "experienced", test you sanity with this audio abstraction and I promise you will never be the same. For better or worse you won't regret it.
