Nevermind my distaste for Boyd's personna, i always loved his works, and especially his ambient ones. 'Children of the Black Sun' had a very profound impact on me from the first moment in listened to it 15 years ago, and it still has. I always resort to its mellow, dark and occult atmosphere when i need to recover my presence of mind, it always works. Not for the faint of heart, nor mind.
