A great electronic release from this experimental band!! I like people who are not afraid of experimenting and this is obviously the case here. This guys love experimentation! The feeling that I got when I first listened this CD was similar to the one I got when I first listened Tangerine Dream´s "Electronic Meditation" some years ago! Full of keyboards and synthesizers and there is James H. Sidlo oplaying a guitar with a distorted and processed sound that makes the music sound more complete and improvisational. In fact I think he is playing a lot of lines, some of them in a very dissonant fashion in order to break some structures and to make a big contrast with the keyboards that are doing some melodies and chord progressions here and there. Also there are some sound effects and native American flutes that make the music really eerie and that will surprise everybody. Excellent CD, really challenging !!
