you were right...i love this, really dark edge to it, the synths are kind of sinister and the beat is dark and cool....sounds almost underwater in parts. Lots of subtle changes throughout that all come together to make it a well thought out intelligent piece. excellent track

This is the first song where we attempted our marriage of stoner metal and electronica.
This song was a friggin blast, it was great taking the gloves off. I had the Apeshit effect turned up to 11.  
I had my pants on during all recordings and wore very little hats at times.

Is it a real bongo?---and something else too. Kinda a mid eastern feel to this at times I think---could just be me though. Awesome ride fellas!!!!! Blink-----blink-----blink------blink!

Wellsirs, of course the entire sly and the fambly stone of this hemisphere shifts with the (at long last!) completion of this mysterious and enamouring piece of thing. That growly, shifty, angry bass synth line is incredibly piercing. It gnaws right down into the guts, even if "gnaws" is probably not the actual word being approached.
The chunky and fierce guitar piece is excellent. The sounds shift through this thing in an excellent way. There's quite an atmosphere that reminds me it's too bright in here where I am. Need to lights to be less...
The percussion and guitar build nicely toward the end, and the way they crescendo and then chill out again is unexpected, and perfect.

Very nice little journey!Very smooth bridges between changes.Dig the driving bass beat underneath it all and the way the synth parts w/reverb,delay(?)flow over it.everything blends very well.the guitar parts are cool...like the contrast from the distortion to the clean licks(great tones on both).cool synth break,also.nice work!

Very mysterious introduction... not sure where it's goin'... but you've got my attention. I like that dark synth/bass ya got goin' there. This track is hypnotising me. Ohhh... I love the lil background melody that comes in @ 2:10... nice bass, now I can hear the emotion  The little break at 2:40 is very awesome (the bass is rattling my windows). WHOA! 3:12 just blew the roof off my house! Oh man!!! You guys are really with the emotion now! Holy crap... You guys tossed up a crazy track! Madd props!

I love that keyboard interlude around 4:30--that's such a pretty melody. And the guitar makes such a dramatic enterance after that bit. And what's that roaring in the background? Man, that's evil. Excellent mix, too--there's just a ton of cool stuff going on, and you can hear every bit of it. And damned if there isn't something new everytime I listen.

I love these beginning drums, not a usual beat at all, it's divine.
That growly bass in the background is utterly  , like the monster in the closet. This is so incredibly smooth, crystal clear and well put together. Beautiful, guys. Just beautiful.
Oh, and then we take things up a notch! Nice variations. The pure spring water of music.

So many different elements to this track...I like the way it naturally flows.
The bit at 4min 30 with the tablas...then kickass guitar 
The bassline sounds quite sad for some reason  This is an excellent piece of music guys could see it in a film.

Of course, the production's superb, and the instruments are crafted with surgical skill. So I ask... what more could anybody want?

The panning, bouncing  is a great touch. It makes me swirl around. The  sounds (real and synth or whatever) are so pleasing. Each has a job to do in the sonic spectrum and each fulfills its mission. The melody suggests a story of searching to me. Some where around 3:20, when a guitar comes in, it suggest that the search might be over, but unfortunately what was found was not really what one wanted to find and that it was unsettling. The tablas are a beautiful touch (I'm always a sucker for non-western percussion). Then when the piece ends, it suggests to me that the searcher is stuck with this unsettling situation and might even have some remorse about having started the search. Powerful.
Awesome compostion and awesome execution.

This has a deliciously thematic quality to it, but it's much more sinister than the title would imply. I hope that's an intentional irony, because...regardless...it REALLY works for me that way. It sounds like someone is being sought out with bad intent, then it flows seamlessly into an intermittent chase scene. They're searching, carefully avoiding being taken by surprise, then...WHOOSH! They're off at breakneck speed, then...oh, lost 'em, then...ZING! Off they go again! It's very evocative, and that on-again-off-again dynamic is appropriate to a real seek-and-evade situation.
Don't ask me why I'm familiar with that sort of scenario. I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.
The very understated, organic guitar bit does so much for this and does it in an almost covert manner perfect for the overall mood of the piece. I like when the tabla or udu sounding percussion kicks in. The majority of the Electronica that I enjoy has some ethnic flavors in the mix, like the soundtrack for "The Last Temptation of Christ" and much of the music on the label that Gabriel created as a result of that project (Realworld). I really get off on that East-meets-West stuff (the "Dead Man Walking" soundtrack, Water Lily Acoustics, etc.).
Well-crafted and evocative. Good work!

This is a wonderful blend of musical flavours that produces a dark and engaging sound from the outset. I'm listening on headphones and my head feels like its wrapped in a warm towel. The production is awesome!
Very cool use of angry guitars, and I love the indian influences that come in as a contrast to the guitar parts. Lulls you into a false sense of security! 
Very cool!

Exotic space journey, weightless and floating ceaseless in the black universe. The blinking light is coming. And at light speed it reaches me. A ray of ions blast through me and I'm torn in this wave of solar flared destruction. This song is very imaginative and genius. I would seriously buy a record composed with the likes of this! Very professional. I'm sure this would catch quite the attention if it caught an audience. Kept me going through the whole song. GREAT JOB!

I'm back because I am not on dialup anymore. All I know was that I noticed a considerable difference between lofi and hifi streams. So I came to check out one of the greatest peices I've ever heard on here. Let me tell you it sounds 10million times better than when I first heard it. It is so pure and clean. Amazing. This mix is divine! I feel like I'm being knawed at by a thousand worms, sand blowing over my body and I'm sucked into emptiness as my body folds within dimensions. I'm crushed by the forces of some alien nature. The music surrounds me. 360 degrees, it has a strong element of a enironment divided, I can point my finger to the very direction the instruments are coming from. Great, Phenominal, Godly!! I now think this should be longer.
