== Songs ==
The first track, "Opening Sky", contains the didg pairs up with Roach’s ambient guitar. The second track, “Ancestral Passage”, features the eerie muted radio voices, giving way to rolls of thunder and desert-wind pads. In the third track, "Serpent Gulch", contains driving, percussion-fed downward charge with a rhythm built on analog-synth lines, clay pots, drums and Parnham’s curling, insistently chanting didg. The fourth track "Somewhere Between" consists of ritualistic rhythms, featuring the tones of a waterphone vying with sharp metallic clanks and clatters, the patterns coming out like a makeshift invocation, Parnham’s hypnotic drones stirring the mix. The fifth track, "Spirit Passage", features the soft space with the ghostly voices. The sixth track, “Return to the Underground”, consists the tribal with pulsating wave forms.
