LurkMusick the meditative journey these three recordings just took me on is simply indescribable. it's as if I just took my astral soul on the complete underworld expedition tour in the confines of my own headphones/mind, and I would truly love to thank the creators personally for the illuminating experience. truly powerful stuff here. Favorite track: dreaming under the star-veiled arch of nuit.

imvvaar A relief to hear Eastern instrumentation in drone without the heavy-handed occult theatrics usually found in ritual ambient. All the elements here are well balanced and the warm production is perfect.
