4 stars There is post-rock pattern. Slow start, even slowly coming, it takes minutes to reach the top of post-rock ecstasy heights. I have two friends who are post fans and by fans I mean fanatics. I can imagine their feelings when listening to these ethereal sounds. Especially on this album.

This is kinda exercise matter for me, I take this album as perfect example of good post rock. Am I wrong ? I don't think so. Storm has it's climax after three minutes and even during this time it grows more and more. It's not music to listen to with open eyes. You have to close them and flow away. And of course, also like this genre. This style of music is also very difficult to approach, due to instrumentalision of tracks. It's poesy without words, is it even possible ? It's like when you have book, you also have to imagine impression on you. How you feel it, how you take it at all. After storm in Storm, there is peace.
