Moments Worth Listening For
The seventeen-minute centerpiece 'Anasazi' where the synths eventually dissolve into a haunting, static-filled void.
The entry of the Lakota Plains flute on 'Quiet Earth' which grounds the electronic drift in something ancient and human.
The rhythmic shift in 'Rhythm of the Stones' where the bodhrán creates a heartbeat under the synthetic clouds.
