PadraigC I love mysteries and I love when someone makes an album based on one.
This one has some really unnerving tracks, powerful and raw as well some quieter ones. Great over all. Favorite track: IV. The Message of Dreams.

about

Originally released February 26, 2018 An Unknown Compelling Force is a concept album revolving around one of the most interestingly mind boggling, and possibly supernatural unsolved mysteries.

January of 1959, 23 year old Igor Dyatlov led a group of eight young Soviet hikers, comprising seven men and two women and mostly university students, into the Ural Mountains, attempting to reach Mt. Ortorten from the small settlement of Vizhai. It took more than three months to locate all nine of their bodies.

They were found about six miles away from their destination, in a forest almost a mile away from their campsite, without their skis, shoes, or coats in approximately -30 degrees Fahrenheit weather. Two of them had fractured skulls, two more had major chest fractures, and one hiker was missing her tongue. Soviet investigators listed the cause of death as “a compelling natural force,” and abruptly closed the case not even a month later.

This cassette comes with a 10 page booklet including photos for each song along with the chilling extraterrestrial concept story to match the photos.

So beautiful & peaceful. Brilliant for yoga, meditation, stretching...but also for just chilling, unwinding & unthinking. The second track is a lot longer, so I love it during the above mentioned exercises. Thank you for this WWoA. PadraigC

If nostalgia for an age where creatures of myth walked together with the children of men had a soundtrack, this album would be it. Also, a touching reminder that we can forego wealth and power for wilderness and freedom, if we so choose. emanuele127
