Airy evolution of sound

     

Both songs start off with slow waves of ethereal sounds. During the 50 minute song, "Time - Cage," much evolution occurs. The slow melodic opening becomes a darker atmosphere. In the darker part, which takes up the majority of the song, low drones provide a foundation while whisps of air and (for a lack of a better term) spacey computer sounds flow by. There is a quiet percussion line with a cricket-sounding element that adds a sleepy characteristic. Eventually lighter or higher pitched background elements return providing a more ethereal sound late in the song. This gives way a short while later with the song ending with nothing but echoed electronic sounds surrounded in thick reverb. In every part of the song (the background drones, subtle percussion, foreground melodies and noises) there is constant, slow change. It makes the song a great listening experience. "XXXX" starts with a beautiful drone background and a haunting high note that is quite touching. Probably the most beautiful section of this release. Half way through the music then evolves into a darker exploration of sound. This is a great release. There is so much changing within the music, but at the same time that change is very slow and peaceful.
