Anyone into Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, Cocteau Twins and Slowdive should appreciate how far this band takes it.

i've just heard this - this is pretty special.

new age/ambient(?)

despite the depressing theme of the cd, the music is quite stunning. i'd love to hear some of the earlier stuff.

this one is almost 2 hrs long, so figure on doing something else while you're listening to it.

if you're serious, a couple of cucumbers in the bathtub with incense candles all around... (sorry for that visual ;) )

anyway, this is really good and very much worthwhile to at least have heard. i would expect that the fans of the religious prog section will probably enjoy this, even though i don't really see any religion in it... It's just a very enveloping piece of music.
