Is there any album to compare to their first?

Shit. Totally missed this. I never think to open this bit of the forum, sorry.

I am so insanely out of the loop with current releases. This has totally passed me by and need to give the new album a listen.

If it's not too late I would definitely recommend seeing them. I was just stunned at how well her voice held up (to what I had hoped) when I saw them a couple of years back. All the crazy percussion and weird instrumentation is fascinating (to me) to see integrated into a live show.

I couldn't comment on the new album yet, but I'll say the (then new) one they were touring at the time fully grabbed me after seeing them live, which the CD didn't.

I can't actually recall when we spoke about them before or what you've heard but in terms of listening of their old stuff; Within the realms of a dying sun, The serpent's egg, Aion are great. 'A passage in time' is a compilation basically of those first 4, so might be worth checking out, but the live album 'Toward the within' is a pretty solid 'best of', and I'll be honest they do have a lot of nonsense amongst all the amazing stuff.
