Wondrous slab of narcosis.

"I have enjoyed ambient music for several years now and thought I was quite the aficionado...until I heard some wonderful drones percolating through the conversation at a party not long ago. Needless to say, Stars of the Lid were way under my radar,and had to be checked out. Well this stuff is a revelation. Seriously gorgeous music and quite different from other ambient music I have. Best analogy is Palestrina or Tallis without the voices, filtered through electro-acoustic wizardry. I had this CD on through headphones after an overseas flight and fell into a blissful, dreamless coma for an hour and a half. Could have sworn I had slept for a day. Asleep or wide awake, this gets my enthusiastic recommendation."
