Very cool, enjoying it probably a bit more than their release earlier this year.

I'm not sure what to rate this really - the standard version is genuinely a bit crap in my eyes, Set and Gilgamesh in particular being quite annoying, but the record honestly gains so much when listening to the extended versions; the psychedelia and the D&B of the first two tracks have a heightened impact over the longer durations, and the irritating songs I mentioned earlier are basically salvaged by the meandering electronic sections that are added to the extended versions. Even though the 88-minute iteration contains all of the 'standard version', it's basically a different album, and a much better one because of it.
