Best ambient album I've ever heard? Maybe

Really quite gorgeous. It reminds me a lot of Tim Hecker at times, the way that it is constructed. Sounds kinda waver in and out irregularly yet with total ease, as they do in his work. Definitely worth a listen if you are in to him.
80/100 (Good)

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
