Re-release on CB. "Industrial ambient" had been slithering around the underground for years by this point, and one of the most respected artists remained to be Skullflower, whose uncommercial, droning sound served as an influence on everyone from Godflesh (whose leader, Justin Broadrick, issued several early Skullflower releases on his HeadDirt label) to Sunn 0))). Issuing albums on a regular basis from the late '80s through the mid-'90s, Skullflower's recording output subsequently dwindled significantly, as 2005's Orange Canyon Mind is only its second release since 1996. The title track manages to sound almost My Bloody Valentinesque at times, while "Vampires Breath" starts off with sounds comparable to a spaceship landing. Fans of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music will probably enjoy this. Tracks : 1 Starry Wisdom 8:32, 2 Orange Canyon Mind 5:52, 3 Annihilating Angel 6:55, 4 Vampires Breath 7:25, 5 Ghosts Ice Aliens 9:54, 6 Goat of a Thousand Young 7:00, 7 Star Hill 8:37, 8 Forked Lightning 6:44
