It took me a few spins before I felt confident enough to comment on this album, because... well it's very different from the orchestral fare that I normally listen to. But different in a good way, no doubt about it.
First of all, I love your textures and your pairing of instruments (and it looks like I'm not the only one)! You have some kind of dreamy, eerie surrealism thing going on that I can't help but love -- because it's weird NOT for the sake of being weird. There's plenty of melody and atmospheric orchestral things going on, but interspersed with strange musical things that makes me go "wait... just how does anyone come up with that?" I envy people who can write music that sounds wrong and right at the same time.
I can't really comment on any specific tracks because I haven't paid any attention to titles while listening to it, and it also has kind of a unified, almost concept-album-like feel to it. Great tunes all of them. I didn't think there would ever be an album that gave me Moomin, Cthulhu and Conan vibes all at the same time but clearly you have proven me wrong!
Awesome stuff. Keep up the good work! Definitely looking forward to your next release.
