Comment: this one-track album (it is to be ended up when the clock is fixed at 45.25) contains the use of gamelans, recordings of seagulls, owls, the wind, and different boats. These concrete and instrumental elements are tightly interlaced with the chords of epic guitars, solemn cathedral organs, discrete yet silentful feedback droning and relaxing burning behind the pronounced sounds. The final 6 minutes are dominated by slightly stomping piano chords which will be followed by a set of lush guitar chords and visions. In a word, the result is an uplifting and crafty one.
