Quite an intriguing listen, first up. Reach for the Dead, White Cyclosa, Cold Earth, Split Your Infinities, New Seeds & Come to Dust sort of stick in my head, although the album is very seamless. I also like that they have a couple of purely ambient pieces sprinkled about (Telepath, Sundown), and considering their highly textural and slightly ambiguous thematic approach, listening to it as an album would most definitely serve you best.
I'm still wondering what it is that it paints in my head. Sometimes it's teetering at the edge of fiction with a possible hint at the science of tomorrow. "Palace Posy" has a slightly tribal, folkloric opening. "Reach For The Dead" or "Split Your Infinities" has that ambiguity in title, but then again, music can notoriously turn out to be quite a different experience as to what the title of the song might suggest. Certainly requires a few more listens.
