Album Review by Sovereign

This release includes a remaking/reworking of some of Aidan Baker’s solo works. Actually is a kind of cover’s in older songs of him. The release is limited in 500 copies. I think Nadja is the only band that can cover their songs… it is clever and quite interesting. The atmosphere of all the remakes is under a strong and heavy drone sound. Recommended only to fans. Great atmospheric drone doom tracks, under a dark and doom ambient soundscape. I do not have more to say, it is one of the 8 2009 releases of the band:
1. Nadja / Black Boned Angel Full-length, 2009
2. A storm of Light/Nadja – Primitive North Split album, 2009
3. Numbness Best of/Compilation, 2009
4. When I See the Sun Always Shines on TV Full-length, 2009
5. Clinging to the Edge of the Sky EP, 2009
6. Belles Betes Full-length, 2009
7. Under the Jaguar Sun Full-length, 2009
