Although this is far too true to its genre to be recommended to someone wanting to discover drone, for those who are convincingly into drone it is a good record. Its sole merit lies in the textures, but it evolves just enough to feel monolithic yet ever changing. The first two tracks in particular are very well crafted and have a great sense of progression to them, in the same mood but less repetitive than a Celer. The last, 47 min long track, although it begins well with frank noise and a lot of texture shifts, rapidly becomes a bit less engaging, and feels inevitably long. Had it been 10 min long I would have slapped a mild soft 3.8, but as it stands the track tamed my enthusiasm a fair bit. Also this is inevitably a record that requires a specific mood as you don't want to be jamming 74min of very slow moving drone in every situation - or if you do my uttermost salutes. Shall I say 3.6
