3 stars Yet another Post Rock group that calqued their sound on the famous GYBE!, which is easily understood since this is an Aidan-led project, therefore a GYBE! spin-off. One of the most disturbing things with this project is that it doesn't really offer much more than GYBE! (unlike Fly Pan Am or Silver Mountain Zion), but stays even more atmospheric and ambient than the chief project. Another surprise is the project's presence on a different label than Constellation (although there might be a link between them and P-Vine),

Still loaded with doom and gloom and clearly alluding to heavy drugs descend into hell (through prostitution and slow body deperishment and the whole shebang) and unlike GYBE!'s usual albums, the message is loud and clear. However, this doesn't stop Aidan and the gang from relying on the old and tried recipes, which means that this sounds like the same old soup being reheated. They even fall into the pit of these long monologues (which plague GYBE!'s works) and make this album relatively difficult for repeated listens, not that you'd really want to spin this album regularly.
