Shimmering and Pulsing

"I couldn't bear to see this CD get 3 out of 5 starts only because it was reviewed by one person. From start to finish this CD is gorgeous, and much too short. If you dig Dif Juz or Labradford then you'll really dig this CD. It was really refreshing to finally hear something like this...moody, dark, pulsing, but shimmering at the same time."

Murky echoing dark melodies

"Will appeal, at least to some. After having seen this trio play in Glasgow in support for Porcupine Tree, I was impressed at the sounds they manage to extract from their three bass guitars. This album expands on this setup but still maintains the same minimalist feel and is bass-guitar oriented. I would call it ambient rock, with the emphasis on the ambient. Melodies are dark, murky reverberating like stalagmites. Best played in dark environment, or in a cave."
