Album Notes & Community Reviews

A breathtakingly sombre collaboration between the Clan of Xymox keyboardist and the ambient guitar pioneer, this album is a masterwork of neoclassical darkwave. Michael Brook's Infinite Guitar textures weave seamlessly with Pieter Nooten's funereal synthesizer arrangements and melancholic vocal delivery. The record creates a deeply nocturnal, ethereal atmosphere characterized by profound isolation and calm.
