Personally one of my favorite albums ever. Probably one of the most technical I've heard. My only real gripe with the album is that I feel the second song on it "Graddinoba Revoss" is dull, repetitive, and has very cheesy sounding horns. Which to me kind of takes away the feeling produced by the opener the psychotic scream-gasm of "Grembo Zavia", and then the following 4 sequences of songs which is possibly my favorite 4 sequences of songs of any album ever. Not even it's that bad of a song, but it could have served well better near the end.
One that always stuck out to me for some reason was "Aramidda Horva" which has that insane 30 second organ buildup which gives me an erection every time I listen to it. As mentioned, obviously a Zuehl band. I actually like it quite a bit more than I like Ruins, and although I much prefer Magma to Koenji, I can't help to feel that there isn't really a single Magma album that tops this in my ears, even if Magma have done so much more with their main body of work.
Big favorite album of mine, perhaps not typically what one would think of with prog. Maybe not as subtle as other prog bands, but I find a certain overpowering nature to the operatic grandiosity of this album that nothing else seems to satisfy. Possibly just a heavier Magma... but Heavy + Magma = Orgasm
