Rating: Om was the sound that God uttered when He expressed this will: "I am One; I shall become the many." Because indeed, in order to experience Himself, to experience Love, God had to become both lover and beloved. Object and subject, audience and musician, and so on.
Om is the primordial sound, the sound of separation and reunion, it is a bit of everything and nothing, it is full potential. Therefore, they could not help but have a minimal formation, these OM, formed by the bass-vocals/drums duo Cisneros/Hakius. They are the result of the end of the legendary stoner experience known as Sleep, from which, in addition to these OM, the great High on Fire by Matt Pike also emerged.
Conference of the Birds is a hypnotic and spiritual mantra divided into two movements: the first, At Giza, a quarter of an hour where the bass weaves rhythmical melodies of extraordinary impact, a clear and vibrant voice, a drum also very 'plain', without too many frills. We are in a non-place that is a bit psychedelia in its hallucinatory progression, repetitive yet rich in fluent and almost imperceptible changes, but it is also a true mantra in its clear, pure, and ascetic sound, and it is also sludge in its great power which, however, is not randomly thrown on the listener's ears, but is measured: it is pure potential, it is a primordial vibration.
In the second movement, Flight of the Eagle, the sound has taken a step forward, with the bass asserting itself with a truly "full" sound (no adjective describes it better) introducing almost 20 minutes of spiritual, mantra-like, and hallucinatory psychedelia.
A work that perhaps will not please those who appreciate only the power and considered destructiveness of stoner/sludge, but will be loved by all those who seek a psychedelia and spiritualism that go beyond the very concept of rock, even if with some self-quotation and immobility that do not weigh on the final effectiveness. One could say music for the soul, even if it may seem very new age, and to me, New Age seems a brand (especially with capital letters). In any case, put this CD on, relax thoroughly, and feed your soul.

01 At Giza (15:56)
Rise aviator - sun will follow.
Aperture on door the wave form school.
Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Aperture on door the lind-hymm stone.
Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Aperture on door the lind-hymm stone.
The orbits arms oscillate to freedom.
Params the shore of celestial sea.
Rise aviator - sun will follow.
On aperture on door the wave form school.
Sentient ground of the light shrine shining.
Semblates the finite - to autumnate seen.
Electron sea - now set free - takes into the sky above the sentinel stream.
And grant to me - a light to see - and pilgrimage to mountain of the votaric form.
And lighten pon day - the solarics raise - falls upon the ziggurat electron school.
And reap upon field - the host moon fade away - glides the aeronaut toward the object form.
And lighten pon day - as scintillate rays - augurate arrival of a seraphic form.
From Lebanon reels - the obelisk seen - called now inverse upon the currenter-sign.
The matter form wanes - the host moon fades - takes into the sky ascends the freedomward dove.
The rite of fall sealed - descendant orb hails her - down to the ground of electron form.
And travels under twin sun rays - the host-moon fades - takes into the clesiast at oracle school.
An epison raise - the pole star fades - wakes into availed light of aurican form.
To reach sun rays - through glowing bronze grace - leaves the lake and rises toward empyrean sun.
The swans array - the crane stands veiled grace - tunnement to the omen of the object form.
And travel on toward the lighten pon day - on through spine's gates - climbs the silken thread to cross a silvering sun.
The Orphic glow seen - as aural sounds ring - climbant to the throne within on spine's attuned prow.
Empyrean rays - engulf the nine gates - dove ascends to freedom through a lantern filled sky.
Awakens from field - availed light's salving grace - heralds arrival of the solar-object form.
Reemerge to breathe - the outform seen - vivified by illumined glow through auric-clad sheath.
An epison raise - the pole star fades - wakes into availed light of aurican form.
To reach a suns rays - of glowing bronze grace - leaves the lake and rises toward the empyrean sun.
The swans array - the crane stands veiled grace - tunnement to the omen of the object form.
And lighten pon day - as scintillate rays - augurate arrival of a seraphic form.
From Lebanon reels - the obelisk seen - called now inverse upon the currenter-sign.
The matter form wanes - the host moon fades - takes into the sky ascends the freedomward dove.
The rite of fall sealed - cremation now reclaims - bows toward the sun and sheds the object form.
