Andrea Weiss What a wonderful work 'ghosts of forsaken ships' by 'giant skeletons'. Every note is an absolute pleasure to hear. The tones blend harmoniously together to create a full and round sound. The music is for dreaming and floating. My favorite songs are 'silent running', 'remains of the end' and 'they walk the earth' with the full sounds. This creates a very warm atmosphere. The music is highly recommended. Favorite track: they walk the earth.

"(...) the opening title piece, a nearly nine-minute soundscape that singlehandedly evokes imaginary terrain emblematic of Walser's phantasmagoric sensibility. Arriving as it does after that impressive, at times unsettling intro, “Enter Labyrinth” disarms for being so pretty, melodic, and sweet. In this instance, piano, synthesizers, and shuddering strings work hand-in-hand to evoke a fantasy land of childhood innocence, as does “Diving Into a Snow Wave,” a similarly charming ode that, especially when it conjoins vibrant synth washes to electric guitar soloing, exemplifies an undeniably strong Mike Oldfield character (circa Hergest Ridge, that is).... impressive... sound painting... stimulating, unpredictable..." - textura, Canada
