4 stars As I write this review this is their highest rated record on this site.

"Sunhair" is spacey with a hypnotic beat.The guitar is good 2 1/2 minutes in and later. "Stretchy" gets better as it plays out. Steady drums as various sounds come and go. Some aggressive guitar before 3 minutes. "Feng Shui" opens with a spacey atmosphere, there really isn't much going on until we get a melody and waves of synths. Some strange noises and flute later. It really rocks out near the end. "Half Light In Thillai" has some good percussion and Eastern sounds later. I like the atmosphere.

"Jurassic Shift" has some steller guitar and an uptempo beat. The beat stops as a very atmospheric and spacey soundscape arrives.The beat comes back 8 minutes in with some great guitar. Killer song. "Pteranodon" is the first song with some heaviness. Guitar melodies 2 minutes in are good. This one has a heavy beat with spacey synths and tribal drumming later. "Train Oasis" is a short laid back tune. "Vita Voom" has a funky beginning. Synths and guitar come in. Flute and Eastern sounds with more great guitar later.

One of their best.
