An emotive triumph with beats, melody, ambience and texture all perfectly balanced here, serving the larger theme. A proper album whose subject matter is further explored in the supplemental booklet which you owe it to the band to read. I'm so glad instrumental artists are starting to just tell all. Good music is a diary and I feel honored to have a peek behind the curtain into the heart of the artist at the controls. And even without it, the music stands on its own. Highly recommended.
