5 stars This offering from MBTW comes after their very satisfactory 'I wash my soul in the stream of infinity', an album of excellent parts. With this latest soundscape the concept from beginning to end is much more considered with the dual part Blakean Song of innocence and Boschian Garden of Delights stepping stones of a more extended musical and mystical journey, bookended by a prologue and epilogue. This leads to crescendos and plateaus that wash over one again and again. IWMSITSOI was, at times, full on and unbound, this new work seems more contained, you know what these musicians are capable of, but they reign the horse in and there is a real tension created through this contained force, that when unleashed, really shifts. An arabic influence in the use of drone, albeit hidden under layers of expert semi improvisation leads me to spin in circles. Complexity over time, like the long titles of their albums, acts as a repeat mantra. As in the the onion of St.John of Dionysius, the more you peel it the bigger it gets.

Magus | 5/5 |
