Burzum’s ambient stuff gets a lot of undeserved shit, in both the prison and post-prison eras. Sôl austan, Mâni vestan is of course, no different. Admittedly, there is little variance between this, The Ways Of Yore, and even Thulean Mysteries to be honest, but if hypnotic – cosmic even – synth work is your bag, then I genuinely feel you can do no wrong in checking this out.
Varg (Louie?) does invoke a consistent atmosphere across the songs, which some will highlight as stale / boring, but I guess it is a sense of perspective. I think this, along with the others mentioned above, is a great record.
