A Sceptic's Universe (released 2000) is the first and as of 2006 only full length studio album released by Spiral Architect, a Norwegian technical metal band. The album is known for its dizzying and varied time signatures, as well as for singer Øyvind Hægeland's unique style of wailing clean vocals. The album is also characterized by a thin lead guitar sound, which further complements the upfront sound of the bass. The album was released by Sensory.
