- 'hypnotic, entrancing, engulfing bass sound, Bell Witch, Farer, Om, always moving forward, dark, exhausting, cathartic, relaxing. A wonderful record of genre defying heaviness.' - Wolves In The Drone Doom
- 'desolate realms of doom metal, harrowing soundscapes, Primitive Man, Meth Drinker, SunnO))), low-end heft, haunting doom/noise, The Owl's myriad of sonic offerings' - This Noise Is Ours
- monolithic, monumentally large, takes a few basic elements and amps them up to such an extent that they are truly captivating in their overall sound. The sheer depth and power behind the reverberation on the album alone makes it worth listening to... take some time out of your day and don't just listen to Odyssey One, experience it - Cave Dweller Music
The biggest nod of respect goes to the bands that specifically influenced 'Ascend'; Godflesh, Ufomammut, Monarch, Ommadon, Bismuth and Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard.
'Ascend' is all bass and drums
'Descend' is all bass and piano, aside from the spoken word by Matthew King. I've wanted to use this sample since November 19th, 2004. I hope people get the reference.
Original bass jam for both tracks, December 31st 2018, recorded in Hundred Year Old Man's rehearsal space in Temple Of Boom, Leeds
Constructed very occasionally between then and April 2020.
Re-constructed and mixed for hundreds of hours between then and December 2nd, 2020
'Further Into The Vastness' is an expanded sound version of 'Lost In The Vastness Of This Insane Universe' (OWL002). Remixed with additional layers and swirls to make it a much wider, bigger sound, now spanning 8 octaves of bass sound... so, please, listen on headphones to get the full benefits of both these releases.
