| Light electro-organic scurrying becomes a binaurally buzzing dronestream whose layers occasionally wander into slightly different perspectives. After several minutes of basking in this deep power surge, the ears are abruptly scoured by the mild abrasiveness of a prolonged hissing/squealing sequence. That aural scrubdown is replaced by softly fluttering sub-audible patterns (sounding like machine-like hum and distant jet-roar) which fade to near-silence... which is then shattered by piercingly scrawled electronic eruptions.
A muffled mechanical vibrato replaces that brief, blistering passage, followed by more low frequency responses, accented by glitchy riffles. A very quiet single-tone drone and microscopically chiming cycles are followed by the tracing of soft-but-rough textures, akin to following the hils and valleys of a rumpled sheet of electronic burlap which (very gradually) grows louder and more bristly. This closing movement contains some truly satisfying surround-sound moments.
The cover art is an x-ray (ribs, it appears) half-toned onto clear plastic, emphasizing the "internal" aspects of looking/listening "into" something... and not necessarily understanding everything you see/hear...
