If you somehow missed this, please go check it out. This is a must listen for 2019. Fans of Nils Frahm will really enjoy this.

This thing is absolutely gorgeous and filled with emotion, I love it! A possible contender for the best Classical album of the year!

I think it is a very good mix of cello and ambient music. My favorite track is Imbalance.

"Temporal" is a gorgeous trip through a haunting realm of pure blackness. It's a wholly atmospheric listen that can be taken either as ethereal background music or as an intimate, dimly-lit bedroom experience. This is probably one of my favorite classical albums of the year.

Fav Tracks: Last Hour Story, Sheared, Imbalance, Conditional Features, Floating City

Least Fav Track: Through the Window
