I found myself listening to this instrumental post-rock album over and over again. The music is heavily layered with guitar, and has a mesmerizing complexity and wide dynamic range. Songs can start out spare and ambient, then build to a heavy rock crescendo, only to sonically disintegrate before your ears. This is a real "headphones" album: best experienced with your eyes closed in a dark room through high-end headphones. Outstanding music: at times intense and raw, others quiet and contemplative. The sonic theme is man vs. nature, but with no lyrics, you are left to fill in the storyline. I really loved this album, and continue to listen to it over and over again.
Rating: A
