Although this does get a little samey in terms of the moodiness, there is enough variety to keep it interesting. And, “interesting” is really a great description. A lot of this is surprising and just plain cool. I really like the album a lot. It flows well from start to finish. The mix of modern prog with psychedelia and more traditional progressive rock sounds is very effective.

Psychedelia and prog merge on this cut. It seems to evolve in waves of sound. It reminds me a lot of early Pink Floyd in a lot of ways. Given that Andy Jackson was the recording engineer for a number of Pink Floyd albums, that makes sense. The vocals enter over a more folk prog sound around the minute and a half mark. It’s still very much like early Floyd in so many ways.

Slow and rather moody, this number is based heavily on space rock. Of course, it still has a lot of psychedelia in the mix. I love the layers of sound. It definitely works out to more powered up stuff as it builds later.
