Reviews
-
An experiment that is simultaneously a success and a failure, ultimately a victim of its own lofty intentions, or rather pretentions. Both layers are equally difficult but sound great. As a single song amidst a collection, this works, but an entire album... -
This is by far the best way to experience all the vocal layers and effects contained in this album. One of the best regarding surround music.
