    The one moment on this album which always gets me is the whining dog at the end of Requiem for Dying Mothers. It's honestly one of the few things, musically, I've ever found difficult to get through.

    @Cleb, have you heard of Rachel's, by any chance? I only discovered Stars of the Lid because someone told me they had a similar sound.

      That dog gets to me as well. I think my other big highlight is the end of A Lovesong (For Cubs). The slow minimalistic outro just hits me in a way that feels something like being in a spacesuit and slowly running out of air.

    Listened to the album this is from today and it was a wonderful experience. I was actually using it as background music for reading but it kept tugging me away because it turned out to be one of the most space-y feeling albums ever and the feeling of space is something that I love so much in music. Beautiful song from a beautiful album.
