The single song featured on this limited edition CD-R gives a nice taster of what is to come on the band's upcoming LP. Monarch are tight and the production here captures the immense power of their music. This is a great slab of no frills and no bullshit doom, something that is always welcome.
After hearing the 15 minute digital pan-flute opener "Velvet Octaves," I knew exactly what this disc would be about. Most of the time this CD was playing, I was imagining myself in some little boutique shop filled with water falls and imported pottery from the more mystical countries of the third world.
