To listen properly to these tracks you really need the time and space and lack of disturbance, to experience these monologues of musical introspection. After the very abstract, almost desolate at times, first four tracks, Bilena sneaks up like a dinner party when you've had too much narcotic for your aperitif. Then comes big, bad Drong to assail your acoustical senses, it's dark, it's deep, it's postmodern devolvement at it's best. Then it's back to the party and this time everyone's a little more relaxed, chilled by the profound resonances you drift into some obscure angles of sound, into flashes of an amoebic orchestrastration, interspersed with moments of dark panic. Followed by the wild hallucinations of the eighth track, full of the knowledge that larger wheels are turning now, one's beyond your control, is this what it comes down to? Awl that can be said is that this is, especially for being the first, thoroughly recommended to those who have the time and open minds to what we have in front of us and what those who are in control are willing to force feed us with. I like this album, it was a nice little foray into the journey. Thanks:-)

Hmmm... It's definitely an interesting effort, but somehow it doesn't appeal to me. I liked the following tracks: 1 Danik; 2 Caragon & 8 Fratatag. The others were:
a) too experimental (5 BiLena - I hated backward recitations mixed with a classical melody here)
b) too ambient and calm (6 Drong - not much is happening throughout the track - IMHO the artist failed to create the mood and atmosphere - the result is boring)
c) uncreative (7 Adaschu - a Schubert's cover without any interesting idea for changing the master's work).

Ambient seems to be an easy genre, but in my opinion it's one of the most difficult, because there is only a thin line between meditation and sleep. It requires a great talent to be able to measure silence, repetitions and long static passages in such way that the listeners fall into a state of ecstasy and not into a coma.

KraftiM chose the right ingredients on three tracks, so he is definitely an artist to be watched.

Of course, if one is a dedicated fan of ambient in any form, he may love the whole album. It is a professional recording, not an amateurish demo.

Quite dark, avant-garde vibes here. It would be good soundtrack music for a sci-fi movie.

A very good mix of moods ,I especially liked BiLena - surreal and dada.

indeed very ambient..
but although really mindtrippin'
I like the classical elements such as the strings in the songs! it brings a very unique atmosphere..
