One of the first ambient albums I ever listened to, and it still remains one of my favourite ambient albums. Matthew Cooper creates some beautiful soundscapes through guitar effects. The atmospheres created are so divine, it's hard to explain.
Part of why I adore this album so much is because of the first track, New Animals From The Air. In this track, layers and layers of guitar are added until you are encompassed with sound.
Sadly, the 17-minute "masterpiece", Taken, isn't really a masterpiece to me. The concept of the song is interesting but it runs on and on for 17 minutes.
In a nutshell: ambient bliss.
