Craig is back with the 13th full length record (there are also 3 split Lps). It features 7 tracks that sound like LOTU!!! Surprise! Ritual of Inner Light starts things off with a bit of a sitar drone and then the heavy bass line, chimes and follow. Dark, mysterious vibe but then a long ending with guitar solo, flute, etc.. great opening number. Golden Dawn, keeps the vibe mysterious and dark with a organ dominant track and loud drums! Codex Moon keeps the mood about the same but adds some hand drums, percussion as well but mid way thru, there is a nice new change in the keyboard and vibe as we head into the guitar solo section. Procession has a nice more psychedelic mix with effects and nice panning on the guitars. Nice… Life of the Severing starts with a cool wah guitar line that leads the song until the vocals start and returns between the vocal sections. Like the vibe on this one!! Immortal Rites brings back the sitar and that otherworldy Eastern feel including the tabla drums. This track reminded my wife of Marc Bolan. Transfiguration reminds me of another LOTU track, but I can not remember which one. A more heavy brooding sound for sure. Great guitar solo on this track and good way to end the album. Enjoy..
