fast creatures dwell in a hazily static drone which sets the stage for later effects, like string section sweeps, cycling electric wah-wahs and muted alarm buzzes. altitude and architecture are both amorphously expressed via musical swells which are eventually puntuated by slight, slow percussive elements which subtly drive the piece. Helicoptery effects fly by before the track quietly blips out. Against a more rhythmic backdrop, bubbly and melodious first jump features softly dancing and ringing synthnotes with occasional faraway bird-like cries.
Radiant downtown inaka is built upon a concise background cycle and, eventually, cool beats. Notable residents include Oriental-ish serpentine synth strands, jazzy sax-like meanderings, and a growing, glowing sonic shimmer, rising like an electrified mist.
From silence, the brassy/buzzy resonance of open your eyes maitreya (6:10) slowly emerges into aural view. Rich, panning drones swelter forward and backward, right and left, not-quite-but-almost disorientingly. Gives me the feeling of riding amongst a hovering swarm of dragonflys, steering here then there; the track, while overtly electronic, still seems somehow organic, with animalistic sqeaks and chitters toward its end.
The drone which opens wire light hills is thinner and smoother, propelled by clunky drumbeats and accompanied by assorted electronic warbles and squeals. The track simmers at a steady boiling point until all recedes. Flying in from deepest space, the zo pilots (14:41) pass through several distinct zones, from the intergalactic radio-static opening sequence, to a honking cyber-alarm and electro-warbles, to softer, symphonic-like swells, to an oscillating pulse accented by dozens of computerized bleeps.
