STORM CORROSION

This is an album that on first listen seemed to be quite a let-down,however for me it's now blossomed after repeated listening into something quite beautiful and enchanting. The material ranges from dark neo-classical impressionistic tone poems, through subtle ambient pulse driven pieces. All very much like the sountrack for an un-named film. Wilson and Akerfeldt collaborate in a unique way, and dare to do what very few artists will in this day and age. Un-commercial. but quite nice and a good listen for a dark rainy day. ( But now the sun is coming out, so I best move on ! ) ***1/2
