Half of Barn Owl Evan C is known for making long form droning experimental but this album approaches high brow space music like that of John Hassell Harold Budd and 80's era Bryne/Eno. Incorporates pulsing rhythms, tribal flares in places. Dreamy spooky chill out stuff. Organic though loaded with computery synthesizers.

1) (1:26) brief chill buzzing, could be an IDM intro but instead ends freezing cold
2) (5:31) begins plodding dreamy and almost midway another cold ending but I this case false, then picks up into dreamy soundscape eventually to a near tribal tone
3)* (5:28) very chill incorporates buzzing but then picks up a rhythmic almost song quality
4)* (5:28) David Byrne Brian Eno sublet trippy tribal tone, very polished
5) (4:15) almost blippy loopy space electronics
6)* (4:13) ambient minimum entropy
7)* (5:53) Excelsior. dreamy layers slightly darker than previous, midway begins to pulse rhythmic like others, swift ending
8) (4:10) fades in so much like 80's Budd, Eno, very lush and tribal and beautiful
9) (5:02) begins slow plod beat, opens up builds into a big rhythmic pensive epicness that calms down and out.
