wow thats crazy... you know your stuff on this one. I'll look into the content for the lyrics and take in what you've said. As far as the music goes overall, the ambience, the dark mood it emits, and the way each track each brings in its own texture is just amazing. I've never heard music like this. Apparently it's called "World/Neoclassical" but it sounds more like experimental dark ambient. I could see a 5 for this down the road... it's breathtaking.

ow,chillout man!!!It's just a neg!!!

And,after some research,it turned out that glossolalia is quite an interesting method and it was first used in religious rituals...

glossolalia is a greek word,it comes from the word γλωσσα(=tongue) and λαλια(=speech)

anyway,your review is amazing,and I'm just getting into dead can dance,so this album seems like a good starter

I don't think this counts but I was in an experimental post-everything band a couple months back and that's what I did behind the kit, just sing poems in a stalled, operatic voice impromptu.

Imagine like really ambient but organic music (plangent chords, cymbal work, wind noises, strings) slowly escalating into slow, but determined passages of tranquil, but loud sounds, which are covered by Niege-esque vocals, which escalate into larger-than-gy!be explosions of classical forte bravado, subsiding into frail versions of where we once began, more dark, dreary, but oddly uplifting than before.

That was us.




Also, Lindstrom & Christabelle do the improvisational vocal things. Granted, she'll say things like "I'm a diva," but it's the same glossolalia.

No not Niege, more like a cross of opera and Niege.

Both free will and fate exist in this world.



Marxism is the solution to world peace because it helps us in accepting our flaws and reaching transcendence. To exist in an anarchistic society we must first go through the state of Marxism.



The cause of autism: Because autistic children were raised with Love, they learned to accept their differences at too early an age.



The cause of bisexuality: borderline personality disorder. Because borderlines were never raised with Love, they retreated to an oral fixation of emotional whim. To become mentally stable, they ended up accepting their bisexuality.



The cause of geniuses: there are two different types of geniuses: the artist and the scientist. Geniuses end up acting on their perfectionist state and thus become emotionally tormented. They have both emotion and logic, but they dealt with it by splitting the two personalities.



The cause of homosexuality: Because homosexuals were raised with Love, they learned to accept their differences at too early an age.



The cause of heterosexuality: Because heterosexuals were raised with Love, they learned to accept their differences at too early an age.



The cause of communism: Anal-retentive perfectionists who deal with control by Machiavellian government.



The cause of capitalism: Orally fixated people leaaarned to find Love in others without accepting absolutely everyone.



The cause of religion: This.



the cause of atheism: the opposite; religion itself in society; aspies; apathetics; emotionally lacking people; psychopaths; unresolved childhood conflicts, never learning psychoanalysis even though ya need it



c c cccccccccccccc



GOd exists but there is no devil



Yes, the apocalypse is coming. We need to be emotionally prepared for it.



The solution to world peace: face the apocalypse with confidence.

^i am going to go ahead an assume (correctly) that you know very little about Marxism, transcendence, Eros, or the sociological origins of sexuality

either you copy-pasted the scribblings of the 12-year-old versions of Deleuze and Guattari or just made this up on the spot

but i'm glad you like the album
