The Crystal World: 15th Anniversary Remaster

by LOCRIAN

supported by

Dave Aftandilian I missed _The Crystal World_ the first time around so am very excited for this remastered release (but I wish it was available on CD!). Equal parts wonder and horror, suffused with a taut, vibrating intensity that is sometimes suspended with hushed, glistening drones and chiming guitars, and periodically pierced with rending screams of terror or ecstasy. Visionary, mysterious, and transporting.

moz138 This is a crucial moment of growth for these amazing artists.

Definitely a classic. Favorite track: Obsidian Facades (15th Anniversary Remaster).

"The crystal trees among them were hung with glass-like trellises of moss. The air was markedly cooler, as if everything was sheathed in ice, but a ceaseless play of light poured through the canopy overhead. The process of crystallization was more advanced."
