VidnaObmana's dark ambient succeeds where others often fail: Legacy is not boring. That's fairly rare. The album also oozes athmosphere, creating a very nice sonic background for the darker months of the year. I kind of wish there were more storytelling in form of spoken word monologues like the one that starts the album, but it's quite good as it is. ****
