Moments Worth Listening For
The guttural, vibrating entrance of David Hudson's didgeridoo on track 1, grounding the electronic drones in physical earth.
The haunting, mournful cello lines from Sarah Hopkins that emerge like a ghost through the synth fog of track 4.
The transition into 'Awakening Earth' where the fourteen-minute duration allows the rhythm to become a hypnotic, physiological pulse.
