The thought of Jim Marcus playing real instruments scared the living daylights
out of me until I found out about his classical music training in his youth.
Nevertheless new age industrial music compared to the likes of perhaps Enya and
Kitaro was not something I expected from Mr. Marcus at all. New age practically
sums up the entire album, wind instruments percolate, extravagant electronic
and live percussion filter through the fresh spring breeze, and female vocals
dance through meadows. Soft, happy, percussive and very lulling. Definitely
nothing you'd find yourself dancing to any time soon. An oddly unique musical
fanfare from the last people on earth you'd expect this kind of music to come
from.
