Road to the Interior bowls you over a bit with its powerful intro, and then it settles into a nice easy ambience with flourishes of keyboard here and there. Gentle melodies lull you into a relaxed mood. But it's a false sense of security as revealed by the dark ending.
The Interior has an industrial, sombre, polluted feel to it. Like being landlocked is somehow detrimental to a nation, as opposed to having a sea coast. There is a sense of being in the borderlands of socio-political structures larger than nations, culture on the bigger East/West scale. Both are represented here and blended beautifully.
Road from the Interior booms incessantly at first, with a sense of movement and progression. Quite busy and stressful to start, then an easy paced rhythm comes in and gives structure to the musical journey. Percussion is added as the track continues, more brightly than before. It comes to an end, lighter than when it starts. Almost like a grateful escape.
Outside, strong, clear and bold to begin with. Firm in its stance of being outside, perhaps free from oppression or at least the conception of it. As the track progresses it becomes more airy, fresher.
Time to the Change, is keyboard led, mixing synthetic sound with more traditional. An interesting rhythm steps into the mix, followed by percussion and more synth layers. Towards the middle the whole ambience feels more reverent, and then as the track comes back, with resolution to achieve some spiritual end. Then end up propelling you gently into a relaxing comfortable cloud of fluffiness.
Strange Change begins with an unexpected start, quite harsh in some respects, like the realisation of such life-changing resolutions can mean you have to do it all again, only better this time round. A nicely paced track emerges from the swirling synth and says 'let's get on with it then!'. So, get on with it and give it a listen!-)
