Description/Reviews: 

"Erubus" opens the album with storm-like sound effects and pulsating electronics. Very cinematic in scope with cool synth lines and a slow moving guitar solo with plenty of feel.
The melodic "Monument" is next beginning with gentle strums of acoustic guitar. Thicker riffs unfold every so often adding an extra dynamic to the sound and background Mellotron creates a certain lushness in the soundscape before ending with some understated guitar work.
"Winter" is more poignant with lovely flute synths and pretty piano. Again, Mellotron is used for added richness.
Pulsating electronic percussion and lonely piano notes highlight "Legacy", a relaxing piece of music that occasionally gets the heavy guitar treatment. It is in these moments I hear a resemblance to Pink Floyd Animals.
