I've just revisited this free album today twice, and I think it's rubbed off on me in a far more positive way this time around. Initally I gave it two and a half stars, but I've added a star upon this second and third listen.
Obviously with a single track of atmospheric black metal running 48 minutes, you need a lot of patience with this. In many ways the black metal parts are not fully realised in this debut, but it's in the cohesive, flowing minimalism that leads the album down this meandering path that really works well in its favour.
Perhaps it's this calm nature through the mid section of the album that really gives off a pleasing vibe for me now. I wasn't patient enough on the first few listens, but now I think this album has grown on me. So I say, check it out, not really so much for the black metal parts, but more the overall feeling of the album. It's quite nice.
Oh, and it's free to download, so there's no excuse for you to not do so.
