There are two words to describe it: wordless TOOL!

No, not even vocal-less: there are some vocals, atmospheric and ethereal, chanting in TOOL's vein, but music is 90% instrumental, built on interaction of rhythm-section and guitar, with ambient and other effects attached (insects-section in last epic is a lil' bit too long, that's why I give 4 stars instead of deserved 5!). No filler (except for mentioned section), everything is tight and powerful, climaxes are heavy, quiet places are dreamy, everything is on its right place. This is not your usual Post-Rock or Post-Metal thing; as I said before, this is TOOL-related tribalistic atmospheric instrumental Prog Rock. I should mention INDUKTI as a related band, but they take more from sources like KING CRIMSON, while MENISCUS is more psychedelic and ...yeah, Post-Rocky kind of thing. Highly recommended for all Post- Music aficionados; TOOL fans MUST grab this without hesitation too. 'Me likes!' �
