Review by kingwiltsu Apr 26, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)

Yet another really good example from Hymen Records stating that IDM can be something different than what we're use to.
The Endless Procession: Ginormous debut gives us an good example of epic IDM in the vein of Gridlock, but more organic sound all over. There are processed stringed instruments introduced in the album that makes me dream of a wide open in a forest. The melodies are warm and set in right away without further introduction into them.
Our Ancestors' Intense Love Affair: The bonus CD continues in the same vein as the main release. Very deep and natural sounding IDM with guitar melodies. Some of the songs don't sound as good, but I guess these are leftovers from actual release. There are little vocals added in three songs two that make the experience even deeper.
All and all this is a really good release that I enjoy very much.
