second and the last installment [1995] of cold astral cosmic ambient soundscapes by Fenriz [Darkthrone], forming the entire Empire Algol concept, does not move far away from cinematic adventurous trail - resembling an underground take on grandiose cosmic odyssey, once again purely instrumental record takes far into the universal void, expanding sonic palette to include analogue-sounding organs, crazy modulating tones and almost aquatic burbles, while still playing with pitch control and some edgy rumbles that wash in and out like stellar waves; recent British black 180g vinyl edition comes with four rare bonus excerpts from unreleased 'Space Lab' album session [1994], totaling into fifteen extra minutes of otherworldly material
