Customer Review A few nice little songs. " "Of Wolves and Vibrancy" is the closest sounding to techno that they've ever done, it's upbeat and fun. This is a pretty good, diverse collection of 4 extra Ulver songs that illustrate a Metamorphosis from "Themes" to "Perdition City. "Gnosis" is a long, shifting, experimental song, with some ambiant parts, more upbeat parts, some vocals, nice little melodies, distortions, and strange electronic sounds. "Limbo Central" is another upbeat, dark, interesting song with cool rhythm patterns and extra sound effects. It sounds most like Perdition City, the song could be mistaken to be on it, being very similar sounding to the styles and sound of "Perdition City. " The last song, "Of Wolves and Withdrawl" is 9 minutes of extreme ambiance. It is so rediculously quiet and monotonous, I usually just end the CD there, or forget the CD is playing. This is a good CD for Ulver fans, not new fans. Don't get it unless you have 1 or 2 electronic Ulver full-lengths already and love them. Be aware this is only like 20 minutes long but it's probably pretty [inexpensive] to buy. . You can see a complete list of all Ulver discography, or go back to the Ulver tabs
