Troum & Yen Pox – Mnemonic Induction

In Advaita Vedanta, Turiya is the state where any subject/object relationship is abolished, and the knower becomes what he knows. This record provides an analogous experience, since one does not just listen to this music but unavoidably becomes part of it. Troum and Yen Pox have created an unaccessible but eternal piece of art that transcends narrow genre definitions. This is not your ordinary minimal ambient drone folks.

ominous dark ambient at its best!

The ultimate dream-like ambient experience!

The album starts off with incredible low bass rumbles, and slowly blurry sounds start to rise from the depths. As the album progresses, more layers are added and substracted, building to beautiful melody-like sounds. 4 tracks, which flow into eachother very nicely, making it very good for continuous, uninterrupted listening.

The album seems to get better and better when it nears its end, which is absolutely amazing. From this collaboration came, for me, the best dark ambient album ever.

The outerworldly beautiful sounds cannot be described, you have to hear it for yourself. The whole album is very atmospheric, dream-like. It manages to keep the listener's attention by slow, but noticable changes, its all very dynamic.

This album is Troum and Yen Pox's absolute masterpiece and I cannot recommend it highly enough for those who like dark ambient.
