In the title piece, male voices swoop amidst whistling winds that echo through still valleys, while tones gracefully arc like birds in slow motion during "Mystic Winds." "Xelilika" brings Rekalix's sound closer to Eno (in ambient mode), an impression bolstered by the presence of guitar-like tones that recall Robert Fripp's current cathedralesque style. The album springs to more conventional rhythmic life during "Scrapes from the Surface" when minimal percussive patterns pop as a backdrop for ecstatic tones to cast their gaze heavenward. The ten-minute "Windmills in the Sea" closes the recording with swirls of gossamer synth tones that eventually vanish into the aether. Its 'frozen' surface and grandeur notwithstanding, Rekalix's tranquil music exudes an inviting character that renders it more warm than cold. Classify it as music designed for the empyrean."
