 Beauty & ambience in unmeasurable & ethereal proportion October 1, 2008
Tired Sounds... was my first intro to SOTL, and I loved it.
Refinement... retains many of the aims, but is more instrumental, more melodic, and contains less purely drone-type pieces.
It is therefore still hauntingly beautiful while being slightly more intriguing.
I do not know where I would be without SOTL. I am so, so sad I missed them live in England earlier in 2008. Please come again Adam & Brian, please.

Ignore mbb's review. This is not New Age music. This is ambient music for the 21st century. Simply one of the greatest ambient works of all time. The Stars of the Lid have trumped themselves once again. An essential album for anyone with a serious interest in ambient music.

Before listening to this album I was resigned to the belief that SOTL had peaked with their brilliant album, The Tired Sounds Of. After listening to this album a few times I am happy to hear they have done it again, this album is superb. This album in my opinion is better overall than the Tired Sounds but tracks like Requiem For Dying Mothers & Mulholland are still probably better than any track on the new album.
In summary, I love this album and after seeing these guys live I can appreciate the talents of Adam and Brian.

This sort of music used to be called NEW AGE.
Even though I have been into minimal-experimental-techno-ambient for years and I am usually not afraid of simple things, I must say this is off the line.
Past.
Probably I will use it for live performances of bondage. A good contrast and injection of poetry. Maybe not.
Still too boring.

I'm amazed there haven't been more reviews to this but then again I'm glad, I want to keep this all to myself. Really, this is that good. My spirit is in flight whilst listening to this. Finally a soundtrack to my very being, somebody actually gets it, I am no longer alone, my search is over.
