This band is producing wonderfully melodic pieces that will draw you into their world. Once you listen to them you will only want more.

Ever since i received this CD, it has not left my mp3 player. Each track is a mutable short story.

One can definitely "feel" the influences they list (Pink Floyd, This Mortal Coil and Dead Can Dance) on this release. What is surprising to me as a fan of "underground" music that originates in the UK is how well this Portland musical project has been able to include those influences to create something unique. After visiting their web site (www.egoandtheids.com) and googling the members of the project I found that Delonde Bell has also released some music in the form of an album called "Pearls." Also, Gerald del Campo appears to be the same fellow who has written several books in the area of magic, the occult and metaphysics, as well as being the bass player for Portland's indie-psyche-rock band Trick Sensei. The music in this album does have a metaphysical flavour to it, as though it is steeped in mythology, and in fact, one of my favorite tracks "March of The Woodland Fairies" seems to tell an all too familiar story, and without the use of lyrics, which is a pretty neat trick. I am anxious to see what Ego and The Ids does next.

got it straight from the band, and i am now a loyal fan :D each song is so amazing! it is very eclectic and interesting. I love it!
