A lovely, mysterious shroud laced with faraway flutings envelopes the opening track,
Harvest (3:46). Dark stirrings and sparse accents decorate the waves which flow into and become the richly solemn beauty of Embassage (10:52); semi-orchestral soundstreams bear the traces of exotic lands as they spread onward at an entrancingly paced flow. From the 1998 Ma Ja Le release of the same name, Imaginarium evolves from an ethereal whisp (with hushed vocal contributions from Vnuk) into a tribal-drum-powered exploration by guitartronics and synth.
Electronic crests and troughs ripples slowly across the Methane Sea; the piece awakens like a glowing primordial dawn, with tonal clouds expanding and reshaping overhead, seguing into the murky, wandering piano notes and chirping frogtones of Rememberance (which, if you'll recall, is from James Johnson's Surrender, amphibians and all).
Ephemeral tentacles sprout from Seed, growing and creeping through a wondrously eerie fogbank world, alive with unkown sound sources. Rhythmic electronics sputter through the heart of Athelon while its outer skin glistens and gleams, writhing to a pulsing bassline amid vaporous atmospheres.
