Holy absolute shit, this stuff is truly enchanting. Breaks so many musical boundaries and offers one of Varien's most immersive listening experiences. It's so tough to find a favorite track, these are all so incredible! But if we're really deciding here, I'd have to go with a three-way tie between Hypnotique, Kamisama and Ghost Spores. The vocals are all just absolutely mindblowing, but each song has its own "identity", and a different quality that makes it shine so much. Hypnotique sounds like a mix of Seduction and Aether and Light, and the second half of the drop with harder bass and Charlotte's vocals was just stunning. Kamisama probably most embraces Varien's fascination with other cultures and has this extremely distinct sound that marries perfectly with Miyoki's vocals, which sound heavenly during the drop. That with all the guitars and ambient sounds is just beautiful to listen to. And then we have Ghost Spores, which I think is easily Laura's best vocal performance. She's always had a wonderful voice, but she tries so many new things here that channel such powerful, soul-touching emotion. Those layered falsettos, holy shit... And that instrumental segment is truly an experience. Really, profoundly moving. But all in all, this album truly lives up to all the hype and it's certainly one of Varien's finest works. I'd assume it's his most ambitious project to date, and he's truly succeeded - every song pulled me into such a vivid atmosphere that masterfully translates Varien's visions to musical sound. Thank you Varien for this masterclass on how to weave wonders into others' minds. It's more than just "music". I've familiarized myself with this rule for some time now, but the thing is: you don't listen to Varien's work, you experience it.

You're still my favourite producer from the label, and this album is pure heaven.

Felicidades, es un excelente álbum; en 30 minutos hay un juego bastante interesante de la Electronica, Lounge, New Age (Así lo considero) en combinación con vocales bastante sutiles que llaman mucho la atención. Un gusto conocer este tipo de talento.
