New-agey stuff led by guitar. Cloyingly pretty. Acoustic numbers have a pastoral feel with a touch of Americana (3,5). Electric ones use a steely sound with lots of reverb and sometimes harmonics, for a "futuristic," planetarium sound -- Jean Michel Jarre lite, basically (1,2,4,7). Tracks set the atmosphere immediately, then go on for 5 or 6 minutes each. Mid/fast throughout.
1- Nice chopping beat and "cosmic" feel, ear-catching
2- Minor-key piece, mysterious tone
3- A hint of country fields; pretty
5- Slow flokly/acoustic
