Dave Aftandilian Very grateful to have this documentation of some of vidnaObmana's formative experiments. Here looping repetition uncovers new aspects of the source material with each retelling, producing a gradual musical unfolding with the fragile beauty and fathomless depth of life itself. And yes, there are some shadows gathered here amongst the shimmering lights.

patient_ot This style would be refined on the albums that make up "The Trilogy" but there is something haunting about the repetition and minimalism on display here. Worth adding to your vidnaObmana collection.

Brian Bourassa A more subtle and somber feel that I have ever heard from vidnaObmana. Favorite track: with shattering silence.

Kasithedog512 The closest in having the feel of Dahlia's Tea's under seven skies. Favorite track: Dying Sun.

rocketredfern you wander away from your parents perusing the homewares department in the mall. bored with just a few dollars in your pocket, you find yourself shuffling aimlessly among the scented backlit windows. you open a door, it creaks loudly. several necks crane suddenly in your direction, belonging to lvl 99 warlocks, druids and necromancers. the door closes behind you. skaven slaves loosen their slings as you realise that you are in a games workshop, circa 1994. there is no escape Favorite track: The Eye Of Evil.

manlietto ProtoDS from the future.

Ren Ultramarine Dark and Magic! A great classic in the genre, that never gets old. Favorite track: The Eye Of Evil.

mudshrimpmoe Very solid dark ambient with outstanding synth tones and great production. Percussion comes in here and there and sometimes it's got a strong melody compared to other "ambient." But it is very listenable. Favorite track: Beyond The Mirrorgate.

Lost Tribe Sound Solid album of lush rain forest heavy rhythms from Mattson. Well recorded and composed, the percussion is mixed in such a way that it seems to cradled the noggin as moss coated nuggets of wooden objects tap dance on your brain. Love that Mattson kept the atmospherics to a minimum and let the percussion become the main focus. Reminds me of the lighter side of Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, D.K, or even a horn-less Jon Hassell.

Richard Gürtler Sonic curandero exquisitely amalgamates mesmerizingly primordial rhythms with breathtakingly immersing vistas and tranquilly embracing euphonies...

Frank Inzan Owen There is a faint line where music crosses over into ritual; where rhythm, initially, destabilizes the usual parameters of mind (so often firmly-affixed to ordinary reality), relaxes them, and eventually ushers the listener into new dimensions and levels of experience. The album does that. It is a creativity-kindler, a stress-reliever, a dream-conjurer. This music is medicine. Ride the Smoky Rainbow. Favorite track: Rainbow Smoke.

spacerwoman that flute tho Favorite track: Cloud Cover.
