Akrasia

Scott I bought this album unheard based on the strength of its follow-up (Modus Vivendi) and Cyclic Law's long-standing reputation for quality. No regrets. The concept of Akrasia is intriguing. Favorite track: That Which Was Lost.

Thunderbolt 1000 Siren An ominous and harmonous album that I once heard long ago as a kid, still holds up today. Favorite track: That Which Was Lost.

about

Akrasia is an old question dealing with the weakness of the will. To behave "akratically" is when one acts against his better judgement, committing acts that are known to be wrong but yet still going through with the motion. Markus Lonebrink wanted to explore not so much the philosophical issues at hand, but rather the subjective experience of akrasia itself. To learn of the underlying motives of when one acts akratically. Certain events in the akratic process felt natural to him and it was those he tried to integrate into these soundscapes. There are no conclusions described in the music, but there might be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps the shadow of a hint of why we humans sometimes act as irrationally as we do. A shared quest to gain better knowledge of oneself through this self-revisionistic ambient journey filled with ethereally lush passages that give way to a truly visionary and immersive experience. The album also features a special collaboration with Pär Bostrom of KAMMARHEIT.

Yog-Sothoth
by Cryo Chamber Collaboration

supported by 16 fans who also own “Akrasia”

Yog-Sothoth. The thought of something lurking beyond time and space, seeing and knowing everything and all in existence at any given time, is deeply unsettling and yet fascinating. This outermost, outerworldly feeling is being transported in a good way. Part 1 is good, but Part 2 indeed sounds like I would imagine The Lurker at the Threshold to feel, if he felt anything. An outerworldly, cosmic and desolate piece of dark ambient. David Fischer

Sanctum
by Metatron Omega

supported by 16 fans who also own “Akrasia”

I adore Cryo Chamber and out of all the collaborators under the label, my most admired group is Metatron Omega. Every single album carries their unique mystic and thought evoking, monastic soundscape that elevates me to a higher realm. The "Sanctum" album, in particular, is the one I find the most astounding. theeverwanderer
