i.ii.iii

Ok so, this is perfect within the context of Vanisher but I already gave the extended edition a 10 so I think it'd be more productive to review how this EP stands as its own character. Part I is an immensely beautiful effort with an atmosphere that really feels like it places the listener in its world and covers them entirely, generally continuing to show some of the aspects of music Quad shines brightest at despite what is stripped from it. Part II is a more serene effort that ends up really captivating at times with how it alternates between activity and makes a lot of good use out of its empty space, I liked it overall despite not being as heavily engaged with it necessarily. Part III is a masterpiece be it here or in the context of Vanisher though, I'd put it on the same tier as any one of my favorites from that album honestly due to how he handles all the activity and layering of it while building up to these beautiful atmospheric climaxes. It is overall a very worthwhile effort and a cool addition to Quad's discog on its own along with being an amazing addition to Vanisher.
