Description
From Allmusic.com:
"Numerous warnings from a label known for bludgeoning releases and an artist known for darkness that Smell of Rain is a departure might not be enough to prepare devotees of both for this disc. Though he is primarily known for dark, ambient atmospheric keyboard swells, the third Mortiis release (not including the rarity collection Crypt of the Wizard) is nothing short of synth pop with nods to classics of the genre. Lead track "Scar Trek/Parasite God" could have been on that fateful David Bowie techno attempt, and the majority of the rest wouldn't seem out of place alongside New Order's repertoire or even Pretty Hate Machine. Some fans will likely decry this new attitude as wimpy, however those with an open mind will find Smell of Rain to be a smart pop exercise that still manages to be emotive."
THIS AN ULTRA RARE DOUBLE LP GATEFOLD VERSION OF THIS RELEASE BY THE LEGENDARY MORTIIS.
IMPORTED FROM THE U.K. AND ONLY AVAILABLE IN VERY SMALL QUANTITIES UPON IT'S RELEASE HERE IN THE U.S. THROUGH THE LABEL - MAKING THIS A VERY HARD TO COME BY ALBUM.
A MAJORITY OF THE JACKETS WERE SPLIT ON THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF THE JACKETS DUE TO THE SHARPNESS OF THE ALBUM EDGES AND THE TYPE OF CARDSTOCK USED IN THE JACKET'S PRINTING. THIS IS HOW THEY ARRIVED IN THIS COUNTRY, AND IS NO INDICATION OF MISHANDLING OR SHELF-WEAR - THIS IS A BRAND NEW, NEVER PLAYED COPY.
