Are you a sucker for modern Canadian classical music from semi-obscure composers. Well then, do I have the album for you! This is an album that certainly pushes the genre to the edge, fortunately without ever breaking into all-out cacophony. But there's dread and terror in this album. And quiet moments of eerie solitude. You might be in outer space or a thousands leagues below sea. Strong compositions written and recorded during a time where classical music was really exploring the last known reaches.
