A beauty to behold. DIM's second work offers both mossy, dew-dripping quiet and tundra-like, raging potency. More extreme in its execution than Compendium I and less so than Compendium III, DIM has found a grove in the middle of both medieval landscape outskirts. Pelagic in its depth, the sounds of these rolling hillsides and water-washed rockfaces will not fade from world-beaten ears so quickly.
