In recent years, a good few occult theorists and scientists who spend too much time reading Zecharia Sitchin have come to proclaim the inevitable return of Nibiru. If they're talking about the fabled planet, I'd say their arguments are probably shit out of luck, but if they happen to be referring to the band, they're dead on. The Italian trio that is Nibiru are indeed here again on the psychedelia block, and they're striking back with what is perhaps their most powerful album to date.

I really wish this band would get a decent producer in. I can't enjoy drone when it sounds like it was made in someone's bedroom. I imagine this is music that deserves so much more.

Really? Sounds pretty dense, hazy, and smothering to me, as drone often should be. Not to mention, it's not really purely drone, and floats around now and then in some rather ambient-ish territory as well. What's the problem, ya picky bastard?

The two albums I heard just sounded a bit sort of lo-fi to me. A bit like it was recorded inside a cardboard tube or something. I just wish there was a bit more separation with the sounds. Seems to be a complaint native to me though going by other people =P

Yeah, I've seen vids of the band performing in houses and recording in basements and whatnot, so your comment that this sounds like "it was recorded in someone's bedroom" might not be too far off, actually

Going by the artwork on Netrayoni I'm slightly disappointed they didn't record an album in Angkor Wat or something.

Interesting release. I will check for the next releases if the band can be improved in the future, they seem promising.
