Originally released on Archive as a beautiful double-cd bringing together Vidna’s first two cassettes, along with unreleased material from the same era. Comprising the majority of this Belgian composers work from his post-industrial period, these two hours focus on a dense dark ambient sound, with an un-nerving sub-texture. The packaging and music on this release amazingly capture vidnaObmana in his dark prime.
