Ideal for driving in the dead of night. Even if you don't know what they're saying, the entire album builds an atmosphere unlike anything I've heard before.

This and Loveless are probably my two favorite albums where I have no idea what they're saying.

Mostly beautiful but a bit boring in places. I prefer Takk.

Such a beautiful journey of introspection combined with flights to faraway galaxies. Emotional rollercoaster: euphoric joy to tear filled sadness.
