”Earth Born”, the first track on the album, is a beautiful, touching and hypnotic number and without question one of the best on the CD. It has some acoustic guitar, programmed drums, Alan’s soft (!) bass and airy keyboards. The track really starts to move after a while and the vocals are very mystical and earthy. This is a totally amazing track that also has a pretty psychedelic mood. “One Way Trip” is a bit electro-styled, exciting number that could well be by Anubian Lights. Nice synthesizer stuff. “Always” is a Massive Attack/dub styled, pleasant, soft and slow track and the violin by Simon House adds to the melancholic atmosphere. “Sarah’s Surprise” is a mellow track with a jazzy bebob rhythm that has piano and lots of nice guitar layers from for example Daevid Allen.

”Hit the Moon” is a bit more danceable, special track that has some funk moods and a rather psychedelic guitar solo. In the end you can hear some weird field-recordings. Starting off with piano and bass, “Two Friends” is a rather laid-back and pretty song that includes both real and programmed drums, horn and nice guitar stuff by Daevid. “Behind the Veil” is relaxed ambient and sounds quite a lot like Simon House’s solo albums although the violin is here played by Cyndee Lee Rule. The track has some Oriental vibes. One of the album’s highlights is the minimalist “Crafted from Wood” sung by Bridget and Daevid as a duet. The background only has some bouzouki and for example apache drum. Excellent! The atmospheric and hypnotic “Child Growing” is one of my favorites on the disc. This track has a really dreamy and amazing feel.

On the track ”Candles” the lead vocals are handled by 80’s Spirits Burning member Jerry Jeter who also plays guitar. Also Bridget’s backing vocals and clarinet work very well. This melancholic number has a bit of Celtic atmosphere and it also brings to mind Peter Gabriel. Alan Davey plays an upright bass. “Storm Shelter” is stylistically quite surprising, positive piece getting close to light music and it also includes some trumpet. The little synthesizer effects are most welcome. The pretty swinging, jazzy and soft “Evening” includes saxophone by Bridget and glissando guitar by Daevid. The album is finished with the light, pretty nice “Dancers at the End Of…” that is like Kate Bush meeting Massive Attack.

I must say that I was pretty off balance at first, when Spirits Burning released and album with virtually no space rocking. However, the album’s tracks are so exquisite and pleasant that they attracted me. After listening to the CD a few times it started to open up in a whole new way and has since proved to be a very pleasant experience. Some fresh air after all the heavy, psychedelic space rocking…"
