Immediately we are bombarded with powerful sounds, numerous layers and full textures with a strong optimistic feel about it, as we tell the story of these men as they begin their journey.

Soulful and memorable soundscapes Drum n bass beats are fairly standard

Complex music, complex lyrics, uptempo and jumpy Classified as "emo" music

complex, dark a bit monotonous

A couple of tracks are quite impressive. Most of the tracks are really quite disappointing and have little to offer.

A number of brilliant tracks, some of which show great potential. Demo recordings so sound quality can be poor.
