Clear vinyl, gatefold LP available from Pancromatic Records. Limited to 300 copies. Orders to: tat-p@online.no

Reviews:
An authentic journey that cleans our soul. No doubt one of 2017's greatest ambient releases. Rating 8.5/10 (World of Metal)

While Tangerine Dream, Schulze and the likes are to be felt, this isn't a clone. I can see Breidablik making a big impression in the world of electronic music, and Penumbra only proves that and very much worth hearing! (Progfan97402, progarchives.com)

If you are a fan of synths and electronic sounds, I believe you will enjoy this album. Open your mind and let the music flow through. It will take you on a journey. Rating: 9/10 (Progressivemusicplanet.com)

“Penumbra” is a good little find that will please undoubtedly the aficionados of the retro Berlin School style where the gloomy ambiences were the dens of structures in continual movements. Very good Rating: 4.25/5 (synthsequences.blogspot.com)

Since I heard Timewind by Klaus Schulze for the first time in 1991, I never had that feeling of pureness again... Knowing some of the roots like 'Anekdoten' makes me even more happy. This Work is amazing and incredible! Ronald Appel

Nice variety of sounds on this one. It's got some ZEIT in there and some driving rhythms, quiet reflective moments and big beats. Greasy is a beaut. Robert Wallace
