A magical convergence of multilayered drones and tinkling chimes churns all-too-briefly in
Origin. Long drifts of choral tones expand throughout the ghostly loveliness of Lattice, under which subterranean rumbles vibrate and flute-like strands sneak. A melancholy tune floats hauntingly, quietly and again briefly in
Illusion of Orderly Progress.
Almost 20 minutes in length, Sign and Symbol plumbs a seemingly thin, but ultimately impenetrable, murk which contains several softly droning levels, slowly cascading tones, insectoid buzzing, and many other pleasantly disorienting effects. An amazing place in which to explore, from the subterranean to the stratospheric. Introspective piano notes are spaciously picked out amongst the subdued swelter of Lament's ambient backdrop.
Another day, another deep immersion experience... the vast depths of Blue Day (25:33) radiate with male and female choral ahhhs and sometimes Middle Eastern airs (through chimes and altered string sounds), though all are seamlessly integrated into one continually evolving, involving, soundmass which slowly boils like a thunderhead.
The tribalish percussion and plucked strings of Disclosure (1:33) merge with a backdrop of faint, surreal distortions. Hazy piano notes mingle with steady jungle drums while female vocal snippets slip into the sweet unreality of Effulence's shapeshifting atmopsheres... a lovely way to close.
