In general this is an album of downtempo/ambient rhythms mixed with nature sounds. Tracks are FCC friendly. My favorite track would be #3 White Shadows.


1. Dr. Derelict / nature sounds of birds singing over a smooth tropical groove.
2. Beached / Crickets sounds alongside mischievous creeping insect-like tones.
3. White Shadows / rhythmic drums mixed with a montage of surfer instruments.
4. Po Mahina / mellow guitar riffs with a matching baseline.
5. Night Flower Tapu / Mysterious minimal drums and bass with twangy surfer melodies.
6. Each Day At Dusk / Soft repeating melody with the sound of electricity.
7. What Cares paradise / More birds and natures sounds with various soft instruments.
8. A White Shadow Passes / More of an Electronica sound but still with the same twang!
9. Lung Collapse / difficult to explain, it sounds like a Swamp!
10. Steady tones with Sci Fi spacey tones, tweets, bleeps and sweeps.
11. TikiTampoo / has the same rhythm as track #1 with a constant high pitch.
12. Hilo Hanakahi / Mild western themed twangy guitar strings.
13. Tapu Lifted / Steady stream of wavy sound as if floating in space.
14. Jalan Sam Heng / Natures Sounds
