I can't see me buying a better cd this year. It's a work of such complexity, depth and raw emotion, it grabbed me from the first splattering of raindrops on the opening Antiphon and didn't let go for the duration. I can actually imagine a Night Walk accompanied by this work, with all the euphoria, anxiety and dark foreboding that might accompany a leap into the dark. This album, I reckon, will acheive seminal status, well I hope it does, it deserves it.

Kicking off with mad fast jazz beats akin to Red Snapper and phased instrumentation that sounds like a backward storm this is one hell of an album. Up there with the best ambient- I use that term loosely - releases I have ever heard the opening track soon evolves into a female vocal track the equal of such established and brilliant luminaires as The Cinematic Orchestra and Unkle.
Having regularly done night walks around the coast this album perfectly captures the whole gamut of emotions and moods one experiences from the out and out fear of being stuck in a dark wood to the sheer exhilaration of entering a lit up harbour in the small hours.
The buzz word is atmosphere. Words simply cannot do justice to the complexity and accomplishment of musicality here, it is genre defining and genre-smashing. From scary marching beats to evocative spoken word to majestic classical flourishes and finally the serene denouement which seems to suggest that nature and the beauty of water lapping and birds whistling will always be king, this is a bonafide masterpiece. Don't miss out! ESSENTIAL KIT!

This album has it all. Atmospheric beauty. I honestly can't fault this. It's hard to give this a genre as it crosses a few. With every listen it improves, I guess that it what is important. Enjoy!
