An absolutely unique album - powerful, multi-layered and poignant soundscapes - monumental and enthralling. I think less of historical contexts as cinematic. I think of Dune (David Lynch) or Blade Runner. The tracks flow ineinaner over like a dark power, mesh like the fibers of an old and heavy brocade tapestry ... simply intoxicating. Addictive! No matter how many times I've heard this album, I can not grasp it in all its dimensions. I do not feel uncomfortable darkness but something that embraces and lulls - as heavy musky scent ... absolutely amazing addictive.
