This is dark, colorful, emotional music. While listening to it the pictures running through mind involve graveyards late at night, death, spiritual presences, dreary funeral processions, hymns and ever-droning church bells. The first track is the most powerful and I can't help but imagine it depicts the dark moments that started it all. Then follows unrest and mourning and eventually some form of redemption. Gradually the music gets lighter and finally at the end warmth and hope is restored in it.
The style of the music here is in a similar vein as Hoedh's "Hymnvs" from 1993, but darker and more interesting. The album flows beautifully together telling a story. Given the circumstances of this release, compiled postmortem by Thorn Hoedh's partner Paul Hostia (together they were Moksha, DLS and OCT), it feels extremely personal. In my opinion this release is a great tribute to Thorn Hoedh. He has gone to join the Universum and left behind this inspiring music in his memory.
