Date undefinedI was first introduced to this group by the brilliant final scene in the movie, "Vanilla Sky," where the main character makes the decision to "jump" back into the real imperfect world from his taintedly-perfectly-fake-dreamworld he had been living in, and track 4 (my favorite) plays as it shows seemingly-misc flashbacks from humanity's past as he bails downwards off of a skyscraper heading like a missle for the concrete below, hell every time I see that scene I break down in tears. But that's what this album is, tear-therapy, if you want to examine the emotions within you beneath the surface and feel that you need a good cry, put on this cd. I might venture so far as to say it's especially therapuetic for survivors of abuse or those with PTSD, people deciding to or having already quit the government's drugs, and that sort of ilk out there.
Hopefully my review puts it in perspective as to why nowhere near everyone will cherish this kind of music. I'm a musician who has mastered the art for over a decade now but I've learned musicianship isn't about playing lightning-fast scales blazing up & down the keyboard or frets, that has it's place and all and I can do it but let's be honest, it's show-offmanship mainly used to dazzle audiences without much lingering affect in their souls. I've learned that music is more about what it can bring out in YOU the listner, and this cd will take you places within yourself in a real way. Thanks to this cd and some others I've found recently, psychotherapy is no longer necessary: "And how does that make you feeeeel?" It makes me feel like I need to put on some Sigur Ros and Sevin, doc, now please excuse me whilst from whenceto-heretoforth I find my headphones and take a nature walk far from your planet :)

Date undefinedThe material on this CD is some of thier sparser, slower-tempo, morose, moody, darker material compared to, say, Takk. As such, this CD requires a few more listens to get under your skin. Some of the tracks, such as four, and eight, have a prog- space-rock vibe going, languishing at a slow burn, evocative of early-seventies Pink Floyd or OK Computer/Kid A -era Radiohead.
This CD does lack the warmth and emotion, again, found on Takk, but if you prefer atmosphere and mystery, then this album has lots of it.

Date undefinedI can't write enough on how truly beautiful their music is. Every minute is a masterpiece. Untitled 4 is hauntingly gorgeous and even though none of the songs have lyrics, you feel like their music is speaking directly to you. Their music is an experience with every listen--it blows me away everyday.
