1. (1:08) Dramatic synth(?) strings, very rich, fades 5 sec early
**2. (6:22) Lovely layers of string drone becomes rusty but true strong male vocals. More voices join in lovely vocal loops and echoes, gentle old-timey homestead fiddle suddenly takes upon many layers becoming a great intricate drone. Wow
3. (3:46) Saloon piano with lots of Satie loops and trills, a little feedback
4. (8:55) Stately slow drone chords turns into non-traditional melody. Voices come in oohing and awing. Cello, saxophone, clarinet
5. (4:17) Soft clatter, melancholy lyrical violin, reminiscing about land open and free
*6. (10:11) Medium and slow harmonica drone, male vocals enter in the background becomes a duet, develops intense layers then quiets down again
7. (5:42) slow droney melody with violin arpeggios over it. sounds like a practice exercise, becomes interesting sweeping droney melody again
*8. (7:09) Solo violin opening then harmonica and voice layers into rich melodic drone, then quiet uke strumming then with harmonizing vocals outro
**9. (8:22) Faint glowing drone grows in intensity and layers, very steady and sustained rich symphonic melody
