Ambient/electronics music, fairly busy but soft/moody overall. With airy, cavernous vocals, some in English, some who-knows-what. Very melodic stuff. Even the darker tracks have a new-agey harmlessness to them. Most tracks traverse multiple phases, so they don't get too monotonous. Most tracks segue. 1*- Slow, almost reggae-like deep beat. Low, echoey spoken vocals. Chaotic intro including water splashing sounds. 2- Mellow, almost new-agey groove. Pretty. Sounds a bit like cirque-du-soleil kind of music. 3- Dark, lots of water splashing 4*- Midtempo groove, shadowy. Gets all floaty at the end. 5- Moody synth intro, another midtempo groove 6- Sad cello and gunfire, then belllls 7*- Serene. Off-tempo feel. 8- Peaceful, with brash sci-fi percussion effects 9- Slow, peaceful guitar | ||
