I don't delve deep into either stoner or doom. But albums such as this make the occasional forays so much more worthwhile. Doomy atmosphere with a drive of a stoner rock is how I like it to be served. This is no less than a stellar release.

Just listen to "On The Wind" here.

This album perfectly blends the sounds I have been digging lately. Sludge, Doom and Prog elements come together to make a very listenable album.

Definitely NO CHOICE. That song stands out the best.

Indeed a great album that I wasn't even aware of. I just finished listening to Wedding In Hades's Misbehaviour and was thinking "this is just fucking great" but hey after going through Ancestor's In Dreams seems like it's tough to make a choice in between. Srs, I am hitting the bed on a very high note.

Cool staff pick this one, even for people not particularly digging stoner doom
Great tripping solo on On The Wind, definitely worth it.
Some tunes shed a poppy vibe not so easy to enjoy, but nonetheless, solid album overall.

I'm not suprised in a positive way by metal that often any more but this was a huge exception. The relative proginess really keep the sludge and doom elements from falling into their respective trap of boringness.

The album cover reminds me of the cover to the rerelease of Sleeps album, Dopesmoker.

Its like if Pink Floyd impregnated Crack and Sky, and then that kid hung out with Ayreon before he went on a Universal Migration and thought Ayreon was a pretty cool guy.

I'm glad I finally checked this out. That covert art is very uncharacteristic of the genre though. Looks like it could belong to a witch house album or something.
