I've also got Lonely Land, and I'd say it has some pluses compared to Riktigt Akta, but in total I prefer Riktigt Akta - not least due to the Swedish vocals.

So much pressure!
Alright, I'll do it sometime after I review Power Of Omens tonight.


Awesome, thanks, but don't knock yourself out. :)

Funny how things change. Zeit has no votes but plenty of mentions.


yes, Zeit is unique, even among the TD albums... a double album of four, incredibly slow atmospheric, minimalistic movements isn't everyone's cuppa and I have to be in the mood for it, but it does get under your skin. I have the Special Edn with the similar Klangwald on the reverse, and I can't listen to them both, back to back.

Much overlap in our tastes here, as even my favourite is probably Space Shanty, I'm also fond/very fond of Ys, Hybris and Caravanserai. Also Landberk's Riktigt Akta (not Lonely Land).

That's where my vote went as well. There's something hazy about this album. I don't know how to describe it. But it's right there with that Alphataurus album, my two all timers from Italy.
