"The Last Stage of Awareness is the earliest recording of now-legendary Little Rock doom hoard Rwake. Recorded in the late 90s when the band were barely in their 20s, 'Xenoglossalgia' is a document of the band discovering and experimenting with their sound. Glimmers of the deeply psychedelic sludge the band would become famous for are there, coupled with moments of Emperor influenced symphonic metal. Now, almost 20 years later Rwake's earliest recordings have been fully remastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, High On Fire, Integrity, etc) and made available for the first time ever outside of their hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. Limited edition LP and CD come packaged in an insane 3D cover (both the cd and lp come with 3D glasses!). See where the trip began!"

From bandcamp page

It's definitely weird and inaccessible to many in that the last track is almost 45 minutes long. Gave it a try, but I am ruthlessly bored. Not nearly enough progression to warrant the length of this final song. But I'm withholding my vote since I am such a noob to this style.

Well there's a 21% chance of that happening =P 'Rest' was a good album at any rate.

I am not. Finally listening to this as I speak. I liked their previous release. So far so good...cannot wait to get to the ending track.
