Influences

Stars of the Lid, Labraford, Windy & Carl, Anomolous Disturbances, A.M.P., Pink Floyd...

Sounds Like

Ambient guitar/bass-only tracks without percussion. Long drones, gentle washes, soothing somnambulism, quiet hums, beautiful soundscapes, relaxing waves, trance-inducing quietude. Psychedelic vocal samples interspaced through long songs (7-11 minutes each) that truly define the meaning of "ambience".

Of similar nature: Stars of the Lid, Labraford, Windy & Carl, Anomolous Disturbances, A.M.P., Bowery Electric, Lull, ....

Please note that all tracks are three to five minute long excerpts due to the size restrictions and length of the original tracks.

I just downloaded the whole CD at iTunes and listened to the whole thing. It is just great and I would recommend it. The bonus is the samples from the Prisoner. Prisoner quotes and great ambient sounds...does not get any better than that!
