The sixth track alone takes the listener on an excursion from the calm landscape to the midnight jungle, offering a perfect transition into the seventh track “Namer.” On eighth track “Golden,” the overall sound lends itself more to that of the traditional music of China, with the pentatonic motifs and Chinese instrumentation.
