5 stars I still remember the day that I bought that album.I remember it cause it was the only album(i mean that) that changed my whole life forever and ever.After reading a preview in an article about the album I was almost eager to hear it.That`s it.For a whole month it was the only album that I was listening to.Nothing else existed.It`s difficult to describe the feelings and it`s extremely difficult to describe them as a group.You see GYBE it`s not the big stars not the extremely skillful musicians,on the contrary their music is simple and minimalistic but they can thrill you to the bone for this exact reason.The four compositions in this album over 20 minutes each one are built on a very simple tune that progressively grows until it bursts out.Heavenly and Hellish at the same time with turbulent soundscapes and colorful tunes and impressive ambient sounds.Anyone who had watched their concerts will understand that in all it`s glory.This is true music by true musicians.I had the chance to talk for a while to Efrim Menuck the guy that later formed the astounishing A Silver Mt Zion and I had to admit that he was one of the most down to earth artists that I have seen.That`s for the people because their music is divine.Go and buy it if you haven`t done that already.
