Fevered Dreams

Fevered Dreams, reminds me of a childhood illness when my little life was then so full of weird perspectives and understanding of the universe and its various representations. How strange that time was. I fell ill following finding my dear grandfather gone in his favourite chair. I went quiet for a week and then fell mysteriously ill, for a week or two, to cope in my own way. And last night itself was full of psychic disturbances. He had a great name for himself in this country as a structural engineer and was a fine gentleman. I will always miss him and know that he surrounds me at times of need, as do my own parents and two of my siblings, all lost to me, apart from fevered dreams and those strange moments during days of need. This track, abstract as it may be seen, gives an honour to those moments and is a fine start for this second album. As such dreams are, a fine representation of those long, strange moments in perception and experience. A brilliant piece of epic soundscaping.

The second track, Second Sight, recalls that which has always been present, and as I've grown abstracted and pathologized into dis-ease that still struggles to assimilate. The track is great. Nice manipulation of sound and rhythm that conjures up fragments of such a dreamtime direction. Seeing with your soul, you realise how big the whole. Again, the track evokes things in me that I could just as easily simply listen to, but I find it difficult to shut up. This is my own abstraction in receiving.

The third track consolidates such workings very well and finds a good focus for its 'subject', however secret that may or may not remain, is up to the genius themselves wherever they reside and corrode over time, as all things do, though that sense of corrosion is part of the greater scheme of assimilation into the truth of the spirit. Delicate and subtle at times it captures the flimsy veil that divides and engenders the derision from outside.

Brown Leaves attests to the entropic flow and assimilation of the all-pervasive spirit of life and the passage of time. Great track. One Time Cipher, nice spacious track implying one answer to the code. Go with the flow. Like the legs of a millipede, Two Hundred Legs flow in unison to find their way around and about. Nicely paced and spaced. Anno Domini a manufactured conception of time that bears upon some aspects of culture, though not with others. It's all one and the same ultimately. And the passage of the track knows that.

Approaching Gila, has so many possible connotations that it would only be dull intellectualisms from me, as a track it is a brilliant soundtrack to a hundred subjects, a very nice ambient listen indeed. Whether it be animal, vegetable or mineral, or even man-made, there is a sense of darkness, of trepidation. Nicely pitched with a feel of the ancient in the mix. Narcosis continues the essential quark, strangeness and charm of this album on a very deep level of consciousness potentially. There may be short cuts available, but it only makes the journey longer, if you take them, so I will leave it with a paradox and let you mull that one over. Excellent album. Thanks for sharing.
