"If you’re a long-term fan of one or more of the participating groups or of modern acid rock in general, you won’t need much convincing to add this gem to your collection. But even if you’re completely unfamiliar with this whole scene, yet interested in dipping your toes into the wide world of spaced-out guitar music, I would highly recommend this idealized ISS homage as a gateway experience to the genre."

A tasty slab of science fiction heavy music! I really loved how the spoken word passages pushed forward a sense of scifi story, even when the words themselves were drowned out. REZN give us their hazy psychedelic doomy miasma which I really liked on Solace. Now it is cut with the influence of Vinum Sabbathi, whom I have never listened to, so it’s fun to feel out the shape of their contribution. Overall, this split read the brief on what makes the best splits: they feel like a new creature. pinkytheent
