Eerie, solemn, edging on madness. At moments the violin and cello in the intro almost sound like the woman singing, which adds another ghastly layer to the whole thing. The sudden switch to field recording blending into a choir and maniacal laughter, foreshadowing the choir in the next track, the return to the eerie piano and violin... it sets a good ground for the rest of the album.
Glinkamix is my favourite track out of the whole album. The sounds heard by someone struggling towards death, towards the choir at the gates of heaven, but suddenly finding himself in limbo. Distant bells, the movement of air.
The Brendan Drill feels like somehow I re-emerge from the previous state of limbo, out from chaos of the formless Waters, through the jungle, and into edenic nature.. Sweet and calming, bells and chimes.
Jungle Blending... as the title describes. The jungle sounds are more intense, alien reeds play in the background. The bells still sweet, but getting louder, stranger. The sound of a man writhing on a leather seat, and breathing heavily. Things are getting weird now.
Jumpskins. Full paranoia, and then release. I really love the sound of distant bullets being fired, and the final breath he takes before the track cuts off.
Past this point the album loses me. The Currency of Dreams meanders on and gets boring. It shouldn't have been any longer than 2-3 minutes. Cement Spawn feels like random generic ambient field recordings interspersed with crazy breathing and mouth noises and screaming. Nothing happens.
Baby and Fox manages to be a little interesting with the way the baby noises are used along with the sad music, the "return to limbo" water noises, and the final breath at the end. However, it would have been more enjoyable if The Currency of Dreams and Cement Spawn didn't come before hand and do almost everything it does but longer and less interesting.
Divers. Finally. I love the woman's voice, I love how the melody develops. The field recordings are perfectly placed, perfectly sparse. I love how the sounds end the song. This should have been the end of the album, and yet, and yet he has to add that useless final track to the album, just another amalgamated repetition of everything we've heard so far.
This album would be a 4.0 or 4.5 if it didn't have all this excess, but as it is now I rate it 3.5/5. I probably overrated it 8 years ago because I had never heard anything like it before.
