Any other thoughts to share?

I often find myself being disappointed by a lot of instrumental/ambient type psych. Most of it usually starts out strong but after a few minutes, it tends to become rather repetitive and self indulgent and loses my interest. Not so with this album! It held my interest from start to finish and never became repetitive or self indulgent to me. This is not only one of the best albums of this type I've heard in recent memory, I daresay it's one of the best albums of this type that I've ever heard.

Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!

9/10
