This is really powerful and ethereal electronic ambient music. Rather than a being mere pastiche of separate parts as many electronic albums tend to be, this album is comprised of two long tracks that carefully unfold and develop in washing layers of keyboard drones, oscillating sound effects, and spacey ambient sounds. It requires a certain kind of patience and vision to be able to make something like this. None of the melodies are "active" or complex, nor are the noises imposing; the music just flows, evoking powerful images and sensations that can only be seen and felt by those who are willing to absorb the music for what it is. This is probably the most focused thing that Fenriz has ever done.
