I liked it. I was pretty excited about it around 5mins in, but I was disappointed when I looked and saw there was another 25mins to get through. I like that it exists, I like how weird it is for how old it is, I think small doses may have been better, but I won't be revisiting this one. 5/10

Reminds me of Arvo Part. Sometimes it really seems to be tapping into a tradition and then it warps out like Eastern Europe religious music that’s been left out in the elements for too long and went crazy. I feel burdened to have create my own context but that speaks to the outsider nature of this composition

9/10

You just nailed it. It's the outside element that makes this so good and so incomprehensible to the plebs.

An Egyptian pigeon gets high on crack, hits "record", and away she goes...

Overall, didn't like it very much. I did enjoy how it strings you along just long enough to think you know where it's going, and then tears it away from you and starts running down another path. It creates a sense of immateriality, which I think lends some backbone to the religious or spiritual aspects. A world always in your view, but just beyond your reach. Neato... After about 10 min, that shtick lost its edge and it just become grating. Her vocal skills are, without a doubt, impressive. The instrumentation was very good, as well. But, the underlying vision of the album doesn't do much for me.

Like others have said, I appreciate having listened to it, but it won't be getting a replay on my end.

Total average is about 5.92 out of 10. Pretty good considering how polarizing more experimental albums can be.

Also, people shouldn't take reviews too personally. I made that mistake when my first album that got reviewed in the last album club, Devin Townsend's Ocean Machine: Biomech got slammed by nearly everyone. Were a lot of the criticisms petty and/or outright idiotic? Hell yeah, but they were still entitled to it.
