Nature sounds bring this instrumental piece into being. Eventually a slow moving, almost dirge-like music joins. It’s dramatic and powerful with definite symphonic vibes. Around the half-way mark it explodes out into smoking hot space rock that really soars. It continues to evolve from there. It is such a powerful number, making it a great opener.

Folk music, prog and more merge on this number. It has a good balance between the mellower vocal movements and the more powered up instrumental ones. This is an effective and intriguing piece of music. There are symphonic things at play on this number, too.

There are sounds like tribal chanting at the beginning of this. Percussion is heard in the mix on this trippy, spacey introductory section. The track eventually works out to more driving rocking zones. The harder rocking instrumental movement later brings prog and space rock vibes fully to bear. The closing section that segues into the next track has some really trippy mellower sounds.

With sound effects and mellower space music, this really reminds me of Hawkwind as it comes out of the previous piece. A percussive element along with some guitar jamming brings a different angle to bear. This is a short instrumental interlude that has some hints of world music later.

Coming out of the previous piece, this number is more of a folk rock based tune. This gets harder rocking, at times almost leaning toward metal, at times. There is a dark vibe to the whole thing. It explodes out into a smoking hot space rock jam later. It keeps evolving in dramatic ways. There are plenty of cool space music things at play along the road.

This comes in mellow. It gradually rises up, but also powers up explosively at times. This psychedelically tinged space rock that’s very much a prog rock piece with a real classic sound.

 There is a dramatic vibe to this. It starts with more of a textural keyboard arrangement. It grows out to harder rocking zones gradually. This is another with a lot of Hawkwind like space rock at play.

Based heavily on keyboard textures, there is a real majesty and beauty to this. The flute that dances over the top really helps to ground it. The cut has a definite prog magic.

Coming out of the last number, this is powered up, guitar dominated hard rock from the start. It drops after a time to trippy atmospherics. A spoken female voices comes in. The trippy things continue. Then the guitar fires back up in a smoking hot jam as the voice continues. The whole thing continues to evolve in killer space rock ways. Eventually some sung vocals emerge, but the spoken ones remain.

As this comes out of the last number, it gets very trippy. The female voice seems to be taken by a frantic, non-English, perhaps non-lyrical incantation. Electric guitar creates some killer blues rocking sound as it drives onward post that vocal. We get more sung vocals after the guitar soloing ends in a slow moving hard rocking jam. It’s trippy, psychedelic and blues rocking.

The spoken vocals return on this classy space rock tune. It works through a number of changes, at times rocking harder, while at other points being more about mellower space rock. The closing section is really trippy and more sedate music.

Trippy atmospheric space music gets this second CD underway. The female voice returns in weirdly processed ways. After the effects and atmospherics section of this holds it for nearly half the run, a guitar rises tentatively moving it forward. This continues evolving in a rather freeform way with the voice returning later. It turns toward more world music based atmospherics for the closing movement and to segue into the next track.

This has a cool rock meets space and psychedelia texture as it drives slowly forward. After a while it explodes out into a smoking hot hard rocking jam from there. There is some real drama and magic built into this thing. The combination of male and female vocals works really well. I’d say that this might be my favorite track of the whole set. It just has something really special about it. There is an almost shoegaze vibe to it at times. A drum showcase takes control for the end of the piece. 

Atmospherics with some guitar soloing over the top brings this out from the last number. This gradually coalesces into a cool jam as it continues. Around the halfway mark it dissolves into chaos. It stops for a brief time and then drives back out from there. While there are some voices here, they are not really sung vocals, so this is basically a trippy instrumental.

Trippy psychedelic elements get things going here. The track evolves from there. This really becomes a full slow moving psychedelic romp with some soaring moments. This gets into some of the most readily accessible stuff with a jam that is driving psychedelic space rock.

Smoking hot space jamming gets us underway as this comes out of the previous number. The space rock vibes on this definitely lean toward Hawkwind zones as it drives forward. This keeps shifting and evolving as it drives forward. It shifts into some mellower freakiness further down the road. While that part isn’t as intense, it’s definitely got a lot of style. A spoken female vocal (not in English) comes over the top after it shifts to strictly atmospherics. Trippy stuff takes over from there and builds with real space rock vibes. The sound of thunder comes over the top.

Very percussive world music merges with prog and space rock vibes as this drives outward. It does a great job of bringing the whole set down to Earth to end.
