STRANGE ROOTS starts off this EP with a sweet guitar instrumental which has a great melody as the drum comes in as if sounding off beat.I like this song as it goes through different levels of instruments but it draws you into it. Check it out. EXILE [Savato Vrady] has some very interesting vocals as the music is very laid back being played note by note.
The melody is quite different, but yet it consumes every part of you. Close your eyes and drift away. ISOLATION has a Pink Floyd/Traffic type of intro as every note is played in perfection as you hear everything. The interludes are quite amazing as each part is played without stepping on each other's feet. I must admit, I do the jazzy type feel of it, too. A true gem.
YELLOW SAND starts out with small notes as it seems to take you into a trance as the melody starts to build slowly, note by note. The song may sound simple, but it's more complicated than you think. DROP OF OBLIVION has an epic intro with an unexpected intro as the song starts to build up, note by note.
