Such a great record. Shame it's relegated to "compilation" status on here as it might be a bit better know otherwise. Great ambient-oriented music.

Do we really have some proof that it's a compilation? Because everywhere I look I just see it regarded as another full length.

I suspect it's probably just a case of the wording that's given it compilation status. All the songs were recorded between 2000 and 2002. I just had a quick glance through his demos though and one of the tracks from this did appear on one of them (at least it had the same name) so it could literally be a compilation of unreleased and demo stuff. This does seem to be considered as an album rather than a compilation elsewhere though (MA, RYM, Discogs) so I might go ahead and change it.

Yeah, I see no problem changing it. Many albums have songs recorded between long periods and I dunno, it feels like it flows good enough to be more than just a compilation. It has been a while since I heard it though.

I fucking love this album.

It's rivaling "Massive Conspiracy" as my favorite Leviathan release

I think it's overtaken it for me, purely because this is rather unique (not that Massive Conspiracy isn't pretty unique either). Such a good record. Glad I finally figured out it existed.

That was like... the first time in a looooooong time I recommend/remind you of something. Against all the other times when it's the other way around.

We'll call it payback then, since it's rare I hear something I like this much

The funny thing is that you heard it before me anyways, since I only knew about it's existence at the time.

I must not have been ready for it back then

Nah, back then was in fact 2012. I was definitely into this stuff xD.

There is brilliance to this album and I appreciate the work and subtlety to the music, but after the first 3 songs I found the album to just meander. I know ambient music can tend to do that, but still. A little too much for my tastes.

Well this is pure genius.

Seems better than I remember it to be.

Ironic how the best leviathan album is the one furthest away from the signature leviathan sound.

It's been ages since I listened to this. It's pretty good but it doesn't grab me nearly as much as before. Excellent dark ambient though. Well-composed and carries a very calming mood despite the darkness behind it. I just think he does it much better with Lurker Of Chalice.

Even as someone who loves dark ambient, I find this quite unremarkable. Tenth Sublevel of Suicide rules all.

Then again, one album by Lurker of Chalice is worth more than all of Leviathans albums.
