Shake up your 70's dark influences, take two of the best musicians of the decade and you've got a modern masterpiece.

If you mixed Wilson&Akerdfelt, you might not expect an album like this. The two geniuses solved their restlessness by making a 50-minute song like a dark soundtrack. Not specifically a prog sound album, but yes, a prog concept album.

Where everyone expected a Blackwater Park-esque album, we got an underrated experimental soundtrack that reminds me of later Talk Talk albums.

What if Wilson&Akerfeldt had rescued Mark Hollis from the 'musical fringes' to lead vocals when he was still alive?
