Recommendation: Island - Island

[Agalloch]

I've already recommended this on here before but since it's my week I'll give it another go. This is another project from the guys behind Ekpyrosis but doesn't sound anything like that. You've really gotta be in the right mood to appreciate this album but I've listened to it a lot over the last couple years. Check out the vids:

Digging this.

this is fucking good as shit

thank you

this is what those fucking hacks opeth wish they could have done with their latest literal garbage heap of an album

 

[Agalloch]

It's really a grower too, especially the second half of the album.

 

[Vittra]

Really enjoyed all three tracks, thanks for posting this.

i actually ordered this cd yesterday from zeitgeister music, together with the "new" ekpyrosis album which i've still not heard

first recommendation that led to a purchase

hailz

 

[Vittra]

Hmm, wonder if I can locate it from a US distro, I'll have to look when I have a moment. Definitely worthy of purchase.

I haven't heard the new Ekpyrosis yet either, but I believe Swizzle has and mentioned it's fairly good. I'm sure he'll chime in if he sees this!

i didn't find it FUCKING ANYWHERE and i looked everywhere, including every US distro i could think of. until i realized the guy(s) sold it from their own record label

 

[Vittra]

Yeah, looks like you are right. Euros + shipping overseas is killer. I avoid it now (not that I really purchase music anymore outside of my two recent hauls).

Bleh.. maybe I'll make an exception. Seems like they have more than one release as well based on that label site. Didn't realize it was the same label Gruenewald was on.

 

[Agalloch]

This album I recommended is the only thing of theirs that's good and worthwhile.

I listened to this and enjoyed it a lot. Just didn't post.

I absolutely love the new Ekpyrosis. I think it's as good as the first album.

Heh, I'll have to check this out.
