This album is an instrumental set that has some intriguing music. A lot of it lands in the neighborhood of trippy atmospherics. That said, there plenty of jazz angles. The latter half of the set seems to get a little samey, leading me to wonder if it might be a stronger release if the final track had been left off. Still, this music is probably better to have in the background, so for that usage, it might not be an issue. The lineup on this set includes a couple familiar names to MSJ readers in Markus Reuter and Mark Wingfield.

An understated, but dramatic, jazz styled arrangement gets us underway here. The number evolves gradually with more of a pure art angle showing up at times. This turns more toward space jazz later, with atmospherics really in control. This is trippy, and so hypnotic.

A slow moving cut, this also evolves glacially. It has a lot of cool atmosphere and some tasty jazz elements at play. This is more about mood than anything else, and it has a solid helping of cool mood on display.

This begins very tentatively. It’s atmospheric and sparse. Gradually some spacy trippiness emerges. This does grow and build, but it remains slower and somewhat sparse. It has some really freaky vibes, particularly in some of the percussion, though. This is decidedly experimental. It’s also very cool.

For some reason this piece really does fit the title to my mind. It does feel like intellect without corporeal form. There is a drifting, freaky, science fiction vibe to it along with both atmosphere and jazz-like stylings. Parts of this feel unsettling. Yet, this is possibly my favorite track here. There is just something so compelling about it.

This is another gets into some creepy territory later. It is a tentative soundscape. It’s not a big changes for a lot of the rest of the music here, yet it has its own identity.   

A cut that is cut from the same cloth as the rest, the formula is wearing a little thin by this point. It’s not that this is a weak track. It’s definitely not. It’s just that it doesn’t manage to really distinguish itself from the last couple tracks.
