Second collaborative work between Steve Roach and Vidna Obmana, after the double cd "Well of Souls" (Projekt 1995). I'm really not that familiar with their production, so I honestly can't comment on possible differences or evolutions/involutions in their sound. Anyway, I guess a conoisseur will be able to recognize their style: ritual ambient merging impalpable drones (the first part of "Isolation"), melodic suggestions and percussive parts with a distinct ethnic feel ("Strands", the second part of "Isolation"). The result is great for meditation if taken with the right mood; personally speaking, I find this extremely well done, but lacking some kind of emotional characteristic to really catch my attention from start to end. So the result sounds a bit cold to my ears.
