The gamelan-like clanging of Klab Cros Templi is soon bolstered by rock-style drumming and a stalking bassline which lead the track through a wavering haze of ethnoflutes and more-electronic ruffles. Hushed gongs and primitive, thudding beats melt into the misty, moody territories of Offering. A droning fog envelops
Unlock the World, from which murky drums, clattering metal and brassy floes emerge (as do warbling bagpipe-ish strains).
More-aggressive rhythms pummel the The Endless Knot while a exploratory bassline churns beneath, sometimes swept by flutey breezes; sometimes everything blurs into shimmering abstraction before striding boldly out again. Drumskins softly patter amid a ringing vastness, telling the tales of Eight Thousand Verses (13:44), floating to an ephemeral conlusion. Textural accents and faint bass pulsations pockmark the slow, sinuous drift of Turning Tide (6:20).
