12 tracks
- Loose Ends4345/9Somber, slightly muddied piano rises and falls, joined by faint strings and an overarching sad ambient background. Airy booms push the piano forward, only to be overtaken by an urgent pulsing bass that brings the strings along to a wailing finale.2:56
- Tiptoe4345/19Somber piano and bleak whines flutter to flock around a cello kneeling in humility. A hushed boom blows the piano upwards and into a harrowing blend with cello and a morose airy synthscape that peaks and recedes.2:58
- Metronome4345/26Eerie clock and piano tick-tocks away against an ethereal, haunting drone that slides further into darkness. Persistent, building synth whines and rises to prominence, spelling doom alongside its time-centric counterparts.2:24
- Amplitude of Tide4345/34Rolling bass is quelled by sprawling, calmer synthscape - but only for a moment. The bass overwhelms and throbs as gentle neon-laced synth dances around, fades, and returns with a more futuristic vibe. A rolling drum hops in and speeds it all home.2:52
- Hypnotic Condition4345/41Hushed pinging echoes in emptiness, finding a dronescape and a warm, beeping futuristic synth loop that swells and airily booms into buzzing distorted synths. Everything surges, collapsing into a bleak futuristic finale demanding a rise to dominance.3:30
- Undertaking4345/49Dark cello scrapes into foreboding drone and doomed pulses that crest and fall back. A cacophony of drone, moaning cello and bleak booming synth drop pings of brightness amongst a sea washed in blackness, warped towards unrelenting negativity.4:12
- Speculate4345/59Somber piano wanders into an echoing boom, opening up an ambient dronescape and sad waves of synth that reveal hints of faint futuristic synth loops. The piano demands its tragedy be heard, momentarily reclaiming the helm before being washed away.2:56
- Deductive Reasoning4345/67Murky drone whines against resounding booms. Muddied synth is quickly turned dark, echoing out its bleak future as the somber landscape swells and recedes. Haunting piano is distorted, assimilated and injected with the rage of an evil synthscape.3:19
- Inhabitant of Earth4345/78Vibrating drone swells as beeping tones flutter around. Airy boom introduces a humming drone and straining, distorted strings; bell-like and moaning. The strings lurch upwards and fall, giving way to pulsing drone and an eerie cacophony of a finale.3:43
- Definitive Divide4345/87Buzzing drone and dark whines push against imposing booms that march towards distorted groans and eerie pings. The landscape is bleak, murky, and tense. The intensity rises as pulsing echoing piano cries out against a relentless, hopeless ending.3:38
- Emissary4345/96Howling drone swirls around a humming bass as synth tones meander about a bleak synthscape. Strained, growling guitar swells, lace with synth pings and an echoing boom trailed closely by running bass and urgent futuristic waves of a synth finale.3:06
