Chac

Chac is a Mayan God of Rain. This track combines ostinato patterns, some South American rhythms and instrumentation with a couple of guitar solos. Not necesasarily in that order.

Lily as in the flower not the name. The flute solo with the echo I find quite evocative. Makes me think of mountain music. It has a very "English" string section, but then I'm English so that's allowed.

More of a dancey number, this makes extensive used of tempo patches on the Roland box. Euro-style pop rather than US in sound and so the name.

Iona

min |
A very simple piece for English Horn and Cello with some backing by the synthesiser. It's a track for relaxing to.

Breeze

This is the piece on the album that points towards Jazz.

Siegfried's Dream

This is just about the most strictly orchestral piece on all the albums. It is probably the only one that could be played by a real orchestra - no electronic parts, but played electronically.

Camel Train

Desert Reggae. It was fun getting the rolling motion of the camels though. If you can't hear what I mean, turn the bass right up. Another track that makes heavy use of Indian percussion.

Halcyon

This could be said to be a viola piece with orchestral and synthetic backing though that would not be quite right.

Persephone

This one really just fell out over a weekend, but it's still one of my favorites. It turns out to be one of those tracks that I keep trying to improve only to keep reverting back to the original.
