This album really cannot be defined by what it is, but by what it is not. It is not Electronica. It is not Rock. It is not Orchestral. But somewhere in between those styles you will find a description of what this album is. Tracks like Coronal Loop Safari definitely have a rock/metal influence, while still being electronic in tone. Dark Galaxy definitely has a Satriani feel to it and is very melodic. Rise of Eta Carinae is a cinematic piece that starts out melodic but builds energy to a crushing climax that is well worth the wait! While it is a freshman album, and written over a period of two years, it still is able to maintain consistency through out. The tracks stand out on their own but are also an integral part of the whole.
