The album dark as the night. It is separated into two parts. First part consists of four drifting and droning tracks fading each other. Second part consists of a long complex track and shorter track that's actually a Shelter main theme. While first part is mostly based around deep low drones, surrounding sounds and minimal, except a noisy drone piece in the end, the second part is based on industrial echoes, longer piece starts with some even melodic theme and moves towards to the emotionless drift with minor drone beats and for the second section the far bell sounds appear. Shelter theme is a separate topic for discussion as it's a complete scene of factory interior: hammer-like drone beats and noise splashes give the unique feeling of a safe and dangerous place at once. The idea of noise splashes was later used once again in Wires.

while starting out rather comforting within the first two tracks, the album gets more and more 'nightmarish' as it progresses. it's definitely a trip and a half and all of what's said in the album description is accurate. thanks for sharing
Shadows in the sky in an Isolated Place, yes i am Still there...Nowhere els would i wont to be.
Great Album.
The next , good album WMRI... Second part is decidedly better than first, he happens more in music, there are the concrete of the invoice, we have an industrial accents... The as usual very good production of the sound. To my favourite "Dark Passage" however something this album he lacks... I command personally to acquaint oneself with him, above mentioned words this only my subjective opinion.... Respect. Kolejny , dobry album WMRI... Druga część jest zdecydowanie lepsza od pierwszej, w muzyca więcej się dzieje, są gęściejsze faktury, mamy akcenty industrialne... Jak zwykle bardzo dobra produkcja dźwięku. Do mojego ulubionego "Dark Passage" jednak czegoś temu albumowi brakuje... Polecam zapoznać się z nim osobiście, powyższe słowa to tylko moja subiektywna opinia....
estoy escuchando este disco en una habitacion oscura, los auriculares puestos, y estoy en otro mundo
me encantaria caminar por la calle a medianoche con esta musica
me encantan tus discos drone/dark ambient, sonidos muy sanos para mis oidos
This brave and thoughtful album has been a favourite of mine since I first heard it some months ago. Full of barely glimpsed depths, it continues to fascinate.
