Description/Reviews: 

They can best be described as a mix of post-rock, space-rock with a definite characteristic to border on the avant-garde. The track ‘Monotransitive’ certainly goes off into distant territories with a slow, awkward crawl which builds a slight tension in the atmosphere. The three drummers aren’t heavily utilised in this track but they certainly are in the opener ‘Serial Staging’ with the drummers working as multi-tracked layers but in a physical and not programmed setting. It’s easier to separate each drummer’s playing in certain songs rather than others: ‘Monotransitive’, not really; ‘Orbital Pertubation’, more so.

Description/Reviews: 

Their influences [Mogwai and Isis] tell you a lot about where to place them musically, yet I would like to point out that there is an enormous resemblance to a band whose latest album I reviewed not that long, namely My Sleeping Karma.
The music of Ilydaen is music for the soul; psychedelic sounds. Of course the post-rock genre is drenched with that type of psychic music and, as I said, the music grabbed me never to let go for the full 35+ minutes.
