TV evangalist dialogue tells us to be free, just in time for the insistent beatsystem of
Subterranea to give us extra propulsion; wispy electronics blurt and swirl in time. Amongst a veil of shimmer and drone, more abstract 1.19 (1:59) ripples as if constructed of a watery-yet-metallic material, laced with mystical-sounding spoken word (which occurs briefly in a few other pieces as well). Cold Valley gets back to the task at hand... creating transportive electronica, here with dreamlike synthscenes, mid-tempo e-percussion and spurting basslines.
For nearly ten minutes, the trancedelic explorations of Terreverte waft and warp through light rhythms and lazy low-end pulsations, spiraling into a beatless zone at its end. Echoey hightones mark the entrance of Spider (11:14), as sparkling-though-muted keys lay down groovy riffs and interlocking motifs, spattered by scattershot drumhits. The dubby bass of Vision gives an additional bit of uplift to the already levitating synthnotes.
Amphibian dwells in a lovely slightly-spooky atmosphere which seeps into 3:27; fluttery textures receive a topping of arpeggios and lightly reverberating, junglish drums. Northern Lights' shapeless soundfloes give way to a jazzier style, complete with sparse guitar strums, sinuous synth leads and a seductive pace.
