Halls of the Machine - Atmospheres for Lovers and Sleepers

"This album was made to be experienced indirectly, by the subconscious, while submerging unto slumber, or while remaining focused on some other activity...
In this way,
it was meant to color silence, the way incense sweetens the
air, or the way tea adds flavor to water.
It achieves the desired effect best, if listened to at moderately high volume,
while attempting to sleep, or to dream.
Careful!
Not recommended listening for people driving long distances in
an automobile,
unless you are a backseat driver!"

Excellent ambient from former Course of Empire

"For those unaware, this is the current project from former members of post-industrial band, Course of Empire and further explores the ambient aspects of COE's music into an entire album and it is very good. This is the type of stuff that helped make COE's music very dark and is the perfect compliment to the other three COE albums, Course of Empire, Initiation and Telepathic Last Words. I just wish COE were still active."
