Basing off my reviews of the first "Stasis Sounds for Long-Distance Space Travel", this is slightly less interesting. Not bad by any means as I still very enjoyed the atmosphere, especially having a more melodic/emotional drone to it. Just this is longer than the other, making it feel more repetitive than it needs to be.

Though not every track is amazing as I thought "holobenthic grex venalium" and "balaam" were just alright.

I honestly really enjoyed the A-side of the album, especially tracks "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" and "Firth Of Fifth" being masterpieces of prog rock. The B-side is still neat but at some points feels like it overstays it's welcome.
This album varies from classical pieces to heavy keyboard/early electronic to soft acoustic rock. Overall, I did enjoy this album for the most part and does offer a neat unique experience but there's some parts feels too noodly for my liking (cough cough "Tank").
