(5 out of 5 stars)
"Can NOT believe that no one else had ever reviewed this over-the-top stellar of a 'space rock / ambient' CD release. I know for a fact I've seen at least one of their videos played on some cable TV music show several years ago, plus I've heard a friend's copy of this disc before but recently I landed down my own copy. It rarely GETS any better than this. Tracks I dug so much here, this CD has rarely been out of my player since then includes the tripping eleven-minute "One Hopes In Uncertainty", "Transmigration" and the super-lengthy soundscape epic, the twenty-minute "Celestial Return". Main player appears to be Richard Amp who provides the synthesizer, guitar, programming and mixing. Should do a lot for followers of Spacemen 3, My Bloody Valentine, Saddar Bazaar, Flying Saucer Attack and Third Eye Foundation. Essential."
