4 stars This album is a sure sign that less can be more. As others note, its a little post rock in vibe, like Godspeed You Black Emperor taking on Zeuhl. The title track, at half an hour long, is a slow paced and bluesy affair, hanging on a two note bassline, but its the background atmosphere and the percussion that make it. You can almost feel the drummer straining at his leash to add flair to the snail-like pace, and that's what makes the track so good. The distorted post rock atmosphere comes to the fore in the last five minutes too. The second track is a little more RIO-like, also making use of traditional Japanese instrumentation. Mostly violin and guitar led in the second half and for some reason less interesting than the first.
