It's a near-flawless album, my only complaint being the uninspired thrice-repeated sample used at the beginning of "Sinai".
GET IT
Highlight: "Haqq al-Yaqin"... an epic of a closer which harkens back to the hypnotic drumming OM is known for, throwing in tabla drums and other awesome instruments for one ball-shriveling trip |
Finally listened to this yesterday and loved it. My Om favourites are Conference and Variations, which are both incredible trips, and this could be right up there with them. I went looking to buy it yesterday actually but they had sold out.
