I don't usually spam entire albums, but since I've got the
link, and it's all zipped up nicely, why not post it. It's
very ambient and like half an hour long, so if you like that
sort of whatever, please take a gander.

Cute cover. The music a bit too slight for me, and by this
i don't mean minimal.

Sacred Woods, Salvia and Merchant Bridge sort of managed to
catch my attention though.

Thanx.

Yo.
My favorites so far are cantripology, salvia, cassette soul,
dulcet in her vecture, sacred woods, bear creek, snow wolves
adventure(and second adventure too).

your sounds give a nostalgic atmospheric feeling,
cantripology sounds kind of like a mix ghost in the shell 2:
innocence and serial experiments lain to me (both are
animes.)

i love the voice fuckery on dulcet, and the subtle bass in
the background gives a good feeling.

there is beauty, and nostalgia which I like, and it's not
too "slight" for me at all, in fact theres quite a lot of
content to absorb for me.

the chant on sacred woods is amazing, as is the synth, it
kind of takes me back to twin peaks.
in closing i would just like to say that i have never found
anyone whos made such music as this, it seems very familiar
to me, so i love it.

good job and i await more material from you while i absorb
myself into this.

Ezkerraldean: I listened to it with my friends (quite high)

this is the most original stuff i've heard from you and i
love it. Some of it actually reminds me of shorter,
to-the-point SAW 2 tracks. They all fit together really
quite superbly and i'm glad to hear you are still taking
advantage of your mad ambient skills! MIlk that shit like a
tit my friend, like a tit!

last bump.

to those who've downloaded it and not yet commented, i'd

I put alot of my spirit into this album, in other words I
was very high during the production.

i gave it second listen this morning, and still think it's a
firm album. i like the music, very ambient and quiet - i can
hear those high spirits and the time and effort you put into
the recording. and i also think it's better than the
previous album i heard from you. and i'll keep it.

Sorry old boy, I do take ages to get round to doing
anything, so damn slothful. That's why I'm an abject
failure. But this isn't about me, this is about your awesome
album.

Great, in a word. It's restless ambient, there's always
something to keep you from nodding off into fitfull sleep. I
really like it, it's very.. chilly (as opposed to chill
out). It maintains a mood theme throughout, but the
variations keep it interesting. I can listen to the whole
thing in one sitting, which is a rarity (most albums I
can't). There's no point me going on about imagery and what
not as that's just my interpretation but, as a fan of
ambient music, this is outstanding. I love the overall mood,
unsettling but not overdone, it does make me think of being
out in the wilderness alone, that's as much as I'd say. It
is like a spooky trekking holiday you do on your own. I like
the album as a whole but "Glow stone trail" really is a
stand out for me. The last three tracks being a bit more
woozier than the rest suggests something odd happens at the
end of the trail, or the listener isn't the same person who
came in at the begining.

In summary, really good, a keeper, going onto CD.

now it's time for some critique.

i really like this a lot - it's just what i was in the mood
for, real textural ambience that takes you places. i agree
with most that tribular was perhaps the most standout, but i
also enoyed dulcet in her vecture, sacred woods (those
indian vocals are awesome) and snow wolves second adventure.
the scraping noises on the title track, as well as the
interesting voice samples at the end of tenutone talisman
and mentalese were really spooky too.

thanks a lot - i highly enjoyed it. now fix your link so
others may enjoy it.

i mostly don't like ambient stuff. tracks are too
monotonous or they go on far to long. why do so many
ambient tracks out there gotta go on for 6+ minutes? all
"bonk bonk bonk" over some warm general midi pad. jeez we
get it, it's ambient, but does it have to be boring?

that being said, I do like your album. there's some good
stuff there. i like pretty much the same tracks cx
mentioned but in particular, 'cantripology,' 'cassette soul'
and 'dulcet in her vecture' really caught my attention.

i like your use of samples. reminds me of Oval's album
"dok" which is one of the few ambient albums i've ever
really liked. if you've not heard it, you should get it.
you will like it.

and i particularly like how your tracks don't go on too
long. you get an idea, you fuck it about a bit then let it
go. don't beat the dead horse kinda thing.

i don't really have any negative comments, except that i
don't particularly like the intro track. those kinda out of
tune tones rub me a bit the wrong way. and occasionally,
the bass on a few tracks gets a bit heavy, clipping my shit
ipod earphones even with the volume low-ish.

so yep. that's what i think.
