Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! This album is SO beautiful! It’s an incredible mix of serene beauty, melancholy sadness, dark and light atmospheric, with absolutely stunning cello solo work. It has incredible production value, is beautifully recorded and masterfully mixed. One of my favorite albums of the year! I just can’t get enough of it! But, why oh why oh why oh why is this not available on vinyl? EVERYTHING It’s available on vinyl today. Even a limited pressing of 500 copies would be apprec mmccool
