I don't quite recall how I stumbled upon this record, but I'm glad that I did. Apparently their first record was a bit heavier than "El Cielo" and the band was compared to Tool. I think a better starting point on this record would be the missing link between Radiohead and Porcupine Tree. There is definitely a progressive rock element here as well as washes of guitars the invoke shoegazer era britpop of the late 80's. The vocals are a bit unique, but once you get used to them this record becomes a very rewarding, fresh and dynamic journey.
