A review by
Lucas January 07, 2009
"Travel Now Journey Infinitely" contains influences of Pink Floyd, Ambient and Shoegaze, but also of the dissonance and chaos of Deathspell Omega (most of the riffs and drumming in "The Silence"). Add to that that the band consists of members all with their feet in different genres, namely Black/Prog (Enslaved), Hard-Rock (Audrey Horne) and Noise (Fe-Mail). With such varying bands the result must be diverse too and it sure is. To give a bit of an idea: the first track is a trance-inducing drum-oriented dreamy song, while the second track "The Silence" is dissonant and dangerous. After that "Make No Mistake" is surprisingly straight-forward and direct. No longer surprising, the mood changes again and let's stop at that, the message should be clear now: this album is diverse.
For some it might be a little too diverse, I'm afraid. You're going to have to like or be open to a broad range of styles. Another thing that might put people off is that although it utilizes plenty of extreme vocals (check the horrifying wails in the title track) and distortion, it could have done with a bit more Black metal. A bit more of a bite would definitely increase the impact of both the aggressive and introvert parts. At the same time it would further estrange the listener. However, it is here and it is now and it is what it is and "Travel Now Journey Infinitely" is definitely worthy of occupying my here and now. Good album, good band and a bright prospect.

Very good, different, I've been hearing since it came out and what can I say, it lingers.

I've had the album for a few days now and have had the chance to listen to it maybe three times. The best so far was late at night, in my room on my iPod. It's a really nice album, plenty to wrap your head around. And it's interesting to hear the Enslaved singer try something a little different.
