"This band was one of those Pandora discoveries. I was listening to a playlist I made based on Film School, a bay area band that is slightly under the radar but outstanding, and the Kashmir song "Jewel Drop" popped up. I became slightly obsessed from this point, and tried to buy from iTunes and then Amazon. This CD is in fact only available from Amazon, which somehow had 2 CD's left in stock when I looked which is awesome considering the disk is a few years old. So this is officially my first purchase of a CD in about 4 or 5 years, and let me say, it is outstanding.



The top tracks, at this early stage are Kalifornia, the aforementioned Jewel Drop, Ether, and Cynic. I am curious how a Dansk band captured the feel of america so well on Kalifornia - this song is truly haunting. Overall, this is an excellent buy if you can find it in the non-crazy priced non-import variety."
