My feeling about it is quite opposite to wellcharges;
I will never be able to listen to the claustraphobic Ys ever again. HOOM breathes, takes it's time, has a coffee and cigarette....
This has simmering quiet intensity.....an intensity that sneaks up on you, rather than batting you over the head. (Ys)
BUT....I've only listened to disc 1.
I plan to hear each disc many times before moving to the next disc.
Still, disc 1 alone is a revelation to me. Far more mature, honest and personal than Ys.
