  • Music Shines Despite Flaws

    4 out of 5 stars
    RebokbaxxdUzMuvuSeptember 5, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Music is fantastic throughout, however there's a fair bit of surface noise that's noticeable. Plus, for $42, a gatefold cover or an MP3 download would've been a nice touch.

  • Wagnerian Drone Grandeur

    5 out of 5 stars
    dazisoasihJuly 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Drones that are as grand and mighty as Wagner's operas. This album, along with his team-ups with Panaiotis and Oliveros, is nothing short of (Rhein)gold.

  • Profound Drone Music Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    edjgdqwf1September 26, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Some of the most profound music ever put on record. A definite must-own for anyone who loves drone.

  • Terrible Sound Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    Gug_qes_61February 2, 2024United States🇺🇸

    Sound quality is terrible, too much surface noise and crappy sounds... Well done again though!!! Carbon sound with deep listening. Really bad because Dempster's sounds are amazing!!!!
