Mmmm...another brand new leaf in AotM's brief history of ambient comings & goings. Looking very lovely. I imagine that if I put this on headphones and stared at the night sky...I'd finally see all the stars.

No, the title and the quote are a bit of tongue-in-cheekery, but any other humor is inadvertent.

Post-listen review:
From the opening piano chords (and waves), through to the Fripp-&-Eno/Birchville segue,
this is a mesmerizng listen. At times pushing it's "Ambient" categorization into the
"Experimental/Electronica" zone...this quietly (for the most part) delivers.
The mysterious Norwegian quartet,
Supersilent, sounded enough like
Jason Corder's Off the Sky project, that it threw
me for the 1st 30-40 seconds, or so, of track 8...until my earss grew accustomed to the sonic glow of the textured ether-wash. Good stuff!

For any who might be downloading & re-burning with track markers (like I did), here are the
approximate segue spots: 0:00, 8:38, 18:19, 27:59, 35:20, 40:50, 44:30, 50:49, 60:09, 64:31, 68:52 & 73:32.

Some beautiiful noise here. I like the second track best. It makes me visualize a ghostship drifting through icebergs, the crew dead as a result of a mysterius disaster or disease, but once the voices come in I suddenly see a mass and even hear church bells mixed in the metallic sounds.The Birchville Cats are cool, too.
