I think this album is about perspective. In thought, in approach to important and trivial things, worries and pleasures. Gives you space and encourages to rethink many of them over. What will you arrive at is entirely up to you, but contemplation alone is worth it. Especially if the impulse itself is a work of art. Tracks come and go like ocean waves - gentle but powerful, stretching on entire horizon; unique, but taken together, they invite you to sit on the shore and observe the pattern. saimonix
