Excerpt – “Right from the opening strains of this EP, it is clear that there is something special about French collective Beautiful Lunar Landscape… BLL are an immensely talented bunch. It is difficult to pinpoint their sound, there is so much going on throughout the four mini-epics on this EP… It is absolutely, spell-bindingly brilliant… you are left mesmerised by the expansive and wide-reaching nature of the sounds BLL can create. At 25 minutes long and spanning just 4 tracks, Beautiful Lunar Landscape has created some breath-taking moments. In fact some bands have had 10 year long careers and still not came close to hitting some of these heights. Simply put, this is a stunning debut effort.”
