"Midnight drone blues:" Like really slow psych rock jams with a modern sense of noise. Mysterious tracks ina dark, mostly slow-moving atmosphere of experimental sounds plus guitar. (No drums.) Much of the recording was done in underground bunkers and other types of "man-made caves," as the liner notes put it. The Nether Dawn is musician Antony Milton, of New Zealand.

1- Energetic and spacey. Desultory guitar chords under a light haze of long electronics tones.
2- Ringing guitar chords, echoey sounds. Ghostly wordless singing.
3- Slow colored tones that almost form songlike patterns. By midway, a good intensity has built up, with a beat and a lone guitar, faint amid the soft howling. Thunderous, but takes its time getting there. Last 15 seconds are really quiet.
4- A quiet light mist. Placid guitar, disturbed by an off-toned buzz at first.
5- Shimmering pulse a la Tangerine Dream. Indiscernible sung phrases. Guitars build a slow burning frenzy. Screeching and howling by the end, a good late-night freak out.
