| A sea chanty inspired by the Hornblower novels of C.S.Forester. Buoys, the hornpipes, the rhythms of the sea - and a frightful shipwreck in the distance. |

| A quiet and intricately textured exploration of that feeling you have that is too precious (and perhaps fragile) to share. |

| The feeling of being in a sailplane, riding currents with the sound of the air smoothly hissing over the wings, then rising, higher and higher against the tall clouds. Autoharps, dulcimers, and a faint reference to a sort of Gershwin city far below... |

| A struggle between a soft line and the blast of "Brisfal Igor" that resolves into an extended melodic trombone interlude followed by some more exciting interplay with trombone, organ, and acoustic guitar. |

| A strange ambiance of smooth and soft overlaid with occasional interludes of frenetic complexity. Strings and horns with block percussion lead into staccato passages of interlaced instrumental collaboration. |

| An almost tribal beat underlies a classic use of bells and harp and the occasional high-speed Celtic harp passage. Syncopation and a variety of tempos affect the complex rhythmic style. |

| A somewhat eerie swing with few normal moments. The lack of percussion in the intro creates a sustained tension that resolves with the introduction of "glug" percussion and a odd, almost dance, rhythm through the pingy synth solo. |

| An extended and evolutionary piece that gradually builds to a climax and then piece by piece removes each element. Someone may be explaining something in the melody or the complex subterranean percussion. |

| Highly polyrhythmic with bass strings the size of bridge cables, brings harp and syncopated rock percussion into unity with marimba and vibes. |
