this album conjures such a vivid space and time. the sonic quality and the lyrics are so absorbing, so full, that this music wraps itself around you. highly recommended.
Loscil makes my favorite ambient music, as it has a wonderfully distinctive sound that seems articulate and contained while being completely without bounds, wildly free.
Villages makes some thick and provoking ambient music that seems to hearken all the way back to Shamanic rituals performed in caves. The album's themes of ceremony and ritual are fascinating to me.
