More Info "...This album is actually the official 2009 full length release of Baker. All the previous ones are covers, or compilations or live releases, so I think we have to pay attention to this one. This is a double disc release. Darkness and wind… There are cello, violin, harmonium, sitar and piano inside the compositions in this release. This is the greatest of all. This is the modern noise metal. Drone till death. Satanic vibes, fantastic terror atmosphere and voices around my brain. Their music is screaming in my head. I think this is one of the best ever nadja releases. This is progressive music. Oh my Lord, this is a masterpiece. I think this is the best ever ambient – drone metal release. I just love it from the first hearing. Excellent. A disc full of metal and drone doom strings and the second one truly experimental and ethereal ambient." [NoiZine] "Packaged in a full color custom made book bound 10 panel sleeve. 'Night and day, you are the one. Only you beneath the moon or under the Jaguar Sun…' Now you’re messing with a sun of a bitch. Let’s count backwards. The second disc in this set “Quetzalcoatl” diffuses into the air an alien vocabulary of electronicesque gargles and hums. A soundtrack made from the residue left after a subterranean dowsing for the echoes of collapsing stars. These disembodied post-transmissions form up in a Minerva’s Web of sunken Titanic ghosts, slow moaning as from distant caverns. Disc one of the set, “Tezcatlipoca” is the actual collapsing of stars. Or, perhaps the exploding majesty of every day’s new sun being reborn, as it once again defeats those Xibilba’s and rises to arc through its dominion again. This monstrous soul goes from grumbling angrily to mowing the heavens. Parts even cross into early Swans territory with aggressively fractured pacing. But all roads lead to the final track which is an epic length doom metal anthem of sweating proportions. Wave after wave of crushing fuzz slowly pummel speakers into diamonds and rust. A relentless solar rotorvating blasterpiece. Which brings us to part 3 of this 2 CD set. Both CD’s have been composed to also be played simultaneously, in a much more useable fashion than the Zaireekas of the world. So, if “Tezcatlipoca” is overground and “Quetzalcoatl” is underground (or, more likely, the reverse) their combination must be all things….and no things. Maybe the sound of the end of things. The resultant juxtaposition is a colossal celestial being smiling down on all he tramples." [label info] www.blrrecords.com
