about

Free-form splashes of harmonic color rise above rhythmic suggestions of pulse as the track fades into Frank's Guitar-Synth/El-Pi solo. Polytonal lines weave in between pillars of distorted guitar as sax sings long tones in reverb space. The rhythm begins to churn more as Rickie builds intensity. Frank's solo fades to rhythm as the texture continues. Phil leads multiple themes as the music forms into segments. Ralph drives the sound with octaves, as Phil's soprano rises above the fray. A series of chords from Sheldon pulls the thread of the time apart as the track resolves into a fade.
