yes, and be sure to listen to "Radio Ballet" and "Repose in Blue" on te hype machine thing

Joji, What about Prelude For Time Feelers? God, I still can't believe how beautiful this album is. Radio Ballet is great!!!

Thanks for the link and feedback, I will check it out.

Man, I really love what I've heard of this album so far. Radio Ballet and Prelude To Time Feelers are simply majestic.

By the way, if you haven't heard of Eluvium before and like Copia, it is absoutely necessary to get Talk Amongst The Trees as well, which I decided is my #5 album of all time, and then move on to his other 3 albums.

Is it just me, or the second song from the album, "Ostinato", sounds like "Where The Streets Have No Name"?

Yeah, this is some good music, not great though, for me.

I finally got the album in the mail last week. It is just as good as I expected an more. The texture is incredible. I can't compare it to anything else in this genre except for Talk Talk's masterworks. And yet, it doesn't sound like "Spirit of Eden" but it does evoke the same sort of emotion - it sounds to me almost like a modern Talk Talk album, if they had continued making music.

It's funny you say that because my dad said the exact same thing when I sent him a copy.

By the way, he loves the album immensely, and this is coming from a tried-and-true Doors, Eagles, U2 fan who had never heard of "ambient" before.

I have finally gotten around to fully listening to this album and I must say that everyone was right about it. Thanks for the link Everyoneanindividual and for the suggestion joji. This is a nice album with gorgeous instrumental music. Good pick.

You're welcome, FKA... Glad you liked it.

The song "Radio Ballet" is excruciatingly flat-footed (or, more appropriately, "flat-fingered") and hollow. I can't stand it!
