5.0 out of 5 stars Dream the Dream with Me, January 27, 2005

I'm shocked, shocked to be writing the first review of this album in Janary 2005. My heart yearns for releases like this, ethereal, floating, saturated with dense waves of tone. It's like drifting into sun-streaked rainclouds, like wandering along a fog-banked beach. If you like Slowdive and crave anything written in B Minor, if you wish you could authentically cry at movies again, if you'd rather be alone with your moods than engaged in bubble-gum chitchat, if you gravitate towards the girl/guy who reads a book in a crowded room rather than mindlessly mingle - then meander into the lush soundworlds of Auburn Lull and linger. There's no rush, no pretense, no real beginnings or endings to the tracks as they weave their way through a rich textural landscape. I wish I could stare out of the window from a train in Europe with these songs on my MuVo... This is obviously not an album you'll put on casually. Like a cold swim after the hottub cranked way high, you'll want to dive into something fast, driving and lean afterwards... but while you're here, settle in, forget your stress and allow yourself the luxury to dream again.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUCH TO ADMIRE HERE, November 19, 2005

This is one of the best space rock/atmospheric music disks released in the past 10 years. Origionally released in 1999 on Burnt Hair Records. Darla wisely rereleased this disk in 2002. This CD has stood the test of time and sounds as brilliant today as it did 6 years ago. Auburn Lull really created a work that sparkles with intensity and lush beauty.
