this release could easily be mistaken for one of the cmi bands. very dark, moody, slow and rich. it is never quite menacing and dangerous as some of the cmi releases are. the music is more of the exploration of unknown realms filled with dark clear strings, interesting sound manipulations, and slow elegant melodies. sometimes it sounds a little bit too raw for my ear; in some places the music flow is not as clean or uninterrupted, and programming could have been better, but it is just in _some_ places. several people compared it with old delerium, and i have to say it really is reminiscent of it sometimes (no matter how much i hate comparisons). overall, a very good and atmosphere-creating release, not too attention-demanding and therefore could be used as a nice background music (at least in my case).
