Description/Reviews: 

Beyond these Things features eight-tracks, many in the four minute range but three of them longer. All the prog prerequisites are here: changes in time and tempo, inclusion of unusual instrumentation and musical styles etc. The overall feel of the music is pleasantly laid-back, almost dreamy. That said the band will take time to play with those more relaxed moments repeating a riff and building in intensity to near noise states before relaxing and moving on to the next riff. The psychedelia is ever present with phasing suddenly appearing on a track or droning instrumentation or trance-like rhythms. The band clearly has embraced this musical style. Put together they create compositions that are full of a myriad of intriguing sounds and yet are airy enough to breathe. The mood is rarely dense but rather subdued and even pleasant.
