Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking a pivotal shift away from the Moog synthesizer that dominated their earlier work, the ensemble embraced acoustic instrumentation centering on piano, oboe, and electric guitar. The compositions are deeply rooted in religious mysticism, drawing direct lyrical inspiration from the Gospel of Matthew.
