Press Reviews Putting a new spin on the term flotation therapy.Elochad masterfully blends a glittering array of synthetic sounds that paradoxically transport you back to the very essence of all things natural.Whale, bird and a whole manner of aquatic samples soon take hold before a veritable watershed of keyboard textures transport you into the unknown depths of even more inviting and unchartered,electronic waters.
