Simply Magnificent!

Ive just listened to the Album like 20th time and Im at a loss for words. Charles Farwell is solo on this but what a masterful trip he conjures! Those who are familiar with Asuras previous excursions will know the evolution of their sound. For those who dont I would put it as ambient, ethnic, down-tempo with a dose of old school goa in a new avatar. Mashing all of these together and doing it well is quite a task and I can safely say that if you like any of those genres mentioned above youll definitely enjoy this.

From the grandness of Golgotha to beautiful orchestral arrangements on The Prophecy and then not to forget the spaced ambient progressive of Celestial Tendencies, Butterfly FX and Life². I really enjoyed how Charles takes his time to evolve the sound-scapes giving them more texture and space. He is in no hurry, even on the faster tracks, taking his time to build and grow the tunes.

This album is really a journey and every track is a floating station providing rich experiences and eventually leading to new directions. It really has to be heard in its full to really feel the magical trip Asura waits to take us on!

One word, Majestic.
