Reviews

    I've never really listened to the first disc of this album, but the second which contains the ambient guitar recordings is simply one of the greatest pieces of work I've ever heard. It is beautiful and extremely rare to find such quality in atmospherical/ambient guitar recordings. It is pure magic. It could easily be compared to Eno's ambient guitar recording masterpieces.

    This instrumental 2nd disc can easily take you away from where ever you may be, and transport you to a timeless desert, void of stress and noise.
