However Megaptera has always been close to the Karmanik family, this is only the second release on this label. According to the text in the digipack, this is a goodbye cd, I think this trio thought 10 years of existence enough.
“Beyond Massive Darkness” comes in a digipack similar to “The Absolute Supper” compilation of CMI and contains the 1992 LP “Songs From The Massive Darkness” and a remix of the first cd “Beyond The Shadow”, which is of 1994. Cd I is Megaptera how I like them best: extremely dark, deep drones, heavy beats, lots of samples; in short, an excellent piece of dark industrial/ambient.
Cd II is more in the dark soundscape vein that Megaptera also presented more often. I think it is okay, but not the style that I prefer.
Anyway, for the price of little over that for one cd, you get a 74 minute and a 44 minute cd and if you don’t already own the two mentioned releases, this is quite a good investment.
