In honour of this more personal wellspring of inspiration, Osi and the Jupiter's sound has evolved from the ambient soundscapes of yore into more direct expressions of yearning. Voice, ambient synth drones, acoustic guitar and cello underpin these delicate homage's to a mysterious, myth-laden region. Kratz's heartfelt, plaintive vocals speak openly of surroundings that clearly resonate deep within. Gentle strummed melodies support these tales, whilst the ever-inventive cello melodies of Kakophonix reach onwards to distant places as yet unseen. 'They Ride Through the Sky on Horse Drawn Chariots' sets the tone with dramatic swells, leading the listener by the hand into these new realms. 'Appalachia' follows, replete with yearning vocals and delicate, countrified picking. 'The Binding Will of Mountains' closes this unique collection of songs with a twelve-minute journey throughout the myriad soundscapes that Osi and the Jupiter have explored throughout their existence.
