By allowing each of his various influences to come to the forefront, Field creates a sophisticated and exciting musical journey.\n\nField begins with the dreamy \"Floating.\" Soaring strings, interlaced with a steady rock beat, make this opening song one of the most interesting tracks on the record.\n\nThe piece \"Days\" features a rich layering of strings, combined with a steady groove, giving the album a Neo-Classical feel. Also notable is Field's interpretation of \"Ave Maria.\" Here, he introduces choir alongside percussion, electronic keyboard, and a grooving drum beat, bringing a fresh take to this classic work.\n\nField does a great job of blending tradition with innovation as he brings a fresh and exciting treatment to a much-loved classic. Even those listeners who are unfamiliar with the piece's origins can enjoy the work as much a seasoned classical listeners.\n\n\"Five,\" which features a 5/4 time signature and ostinato piano pattern, is an example of Field adding some cinematic flare to his writing. The orchestration is highly effective, with the soaring strings, distorted guitar work and piano all working together to create an atmosphere that goes beyond a simple melodic and harmonic statement. This is where film music is so successful, in using melodies, timbres and instrumental combination to evoke a strong response from the listener, without bringing lyrics into the equation.\n\nOn other tracks, Field brings more of a House-Dance influence into his writing, such as the groove and instrumentation on \"D and A.\" Here, we find the composer using strings as part of the arrangement, but the electronic beats and Fender Rhodes piano work create more of a danceable mood with the track than some of the other works on the album. By mixing things up, bringing in different influences and using interesting instrument combination, Field is not only following his creative instincts, but is providing a diverse listening experience that prevents the album from becoming predictable or monotonous.\n\nA multi-tiered opus, the 14+ minute \"Blue,\" references cinematic strings, after hours jazz, and a multitude of intriguing points between and beyond. By working in familiar territory to his album, Field is not only showcasing his compositional abilities but his talents as an arranger and interpreter of classic works at the same time, something that listeners of all backgrounds and tastes can enjoy.\n\n\"Mother\" and \"Sub-Conscious\" have an other worldly sound - peaceful and relaxing - and bring the listener to an ambient state of mind.",
