I'm very excited to hear this album. Made an order from hmv today. Hopefully it won't take forever for it to arrive in store. One of the two albums I ordered came after two years and the other hasn't arrived after 4 months. Ridiculous.

My order came in today! I was pleasantly surprised when I received a phone call from them. Will give my feedback later. I'm only expecting greatness.

This album is a masterwork. Getting better with each listen. I think the improvised vocals of Vortex adds to the general organic feel of the album. Maybe it could have benefited from a tad of better production yet the sound is still clear, yet not crisp. Maybe it is not meant to sound that way anyhow. I'd rate this album in the high 90's for its originality and innovation, showing how atmosphere and progression should sound like without being over-the-top and unnatural. All expectations met. Thank you Arcturians... Two thumbs way up!
