I first listened through this a couple years ago, and I don't know why I hadn't bought it until now. Regardless, I think everyone should listen through this in its entirety at least once, the best way I can describe it is beautifully haunting. I'm sure my favorite track will keep changing forever, too. sethgibbs

I’m not sure what kind of a yarn the seaman is spinning here, but I have to imagine it’s been a harrowing time at sea! This is a masterclass in ambient drone; vibrant, cinematic, and rich with noise. rye0077r
