"Dream. Build. Repeat." in Stephen Hollis's hands becomes this gentle pulse that barely moves but somehow keeps pulling you forward. Ross Stack's take on "Clever Candles Steal the Light" layers these glassy tones that feel like sunlight through plastic.
Duncan Mackinnon's contributions lean more contemplative, especially "Aspect Imaginarium" with its slow unfolding pads. The kind of thing you forget is even playing until someone asks what that sound is. Perfect background listening for when you're building parks at midnight and need to stay in the zone.
