 The Hydrothermal Vents
 Secrets of the Deep
 Review by Gary Hill

This is an unusual set. It’s very hard to categorize. The most consistent element here are the lines of female and male vocals that often seem to come at one another from odd angles. The music here ranges from hard rock to jam band sounds and modern progressive rock, with various sounds often mixing in the same section. Some of this is more successful than other parts, though. Even the most accessible has a bit of an “odd” quality, but that’s actually one of the charms of this set.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 4 at lulu.com/strangesound.
