This new collection of Vidna Obmana tracks is really not a true album per say.
Instead it is a compilation of tracks that move across a myriad of styles and
moods without a solid cohesive center. None of the tracks have ever appeared
elsewhere, so it is not a 'greatest hits' album, but rather a collection of
older material that simply hasn't ever seen the light until now. As such, each
track is distinctly different in mood, composition, and concept. The pieces
range from moderately heavy percussive pieces punctuated by washes of ambience,
mantras chanted in some unknown tongue accentuated by midieval stringed
instruments, to even subtle arrangements of nature samples and resonating,
traditional string sections. Therefore, "Twilight of Perception" serves as an
excellent first glimpse into the compositional diversity that is Vidna Obmana.
If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing this artist, who gives a whole
new meaning to darkwave folk music, then you are surely missing some of the
most beautifully structured music of this genre.
