“Welcome,” starts things off with a gradual build up that enables the listener to get to grips with the new senses being thrown toward them. As it moves and hums, you get a sense of the nature of the beast.
“Age of Aquarius,” goes for the ethereal, and emerges stronger than ever. Slowly working through the internal dynamics, the vocals emerge as a strong guiding light. The song takes on epic proportions the longer it goes.
“Part V,” is an interesting song, taking on multiple fringes, twisting through the shadows and producing something quite informative and residual.
“Dance of Night,” is truly psychedelic with the heavy riffs mixing together with a form of trippiness that is truly out of this world.
“Arrival,” is a medium fuzzed sized bridge.
“Father Sun,” moves out into the stratosphere on the back of an impressive opening lick. It pushes boundaries and encourages the listener to have their mind bent toward the fascinating procedure unfolding before them.
“Millennium Blues,” is a fresh take on some old blues standards, it takes a nice dip here and there, before shifting the tenor toward something new and haunting.
“Cosmic Soul,” unleashes on all, bringing the bass into the 21st Century with that infectious groove.
“For The Innocent,” brings the heaviness to the fore. Unleashing a carnal urge to deliver and produce madness. The song keeps pushing through the boundaries.
“Sparkle Out Of Black Hole,” a fitting end to an eclectic album.
The album is out n 3rd April via Napalm Records.
