Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)

This track is a bit of an outlier: it’s almost purely a string ensemble piece with concessions to a bass drum and a snare, making it more exception than norm on this album composed largely of synth orchestrals.

A tie-in to my novel Eagles and Swans (which most listeners haven’t read, I wager), it’s a track about a garden within the greenhouse of the palace complex, where one of the main characters likes to read on weekends. It’s stately, calm, and gives way to an interlude with a solo violin melody that, in my opinion, is the highlight of the track.

All in all, this is probably the closest thing to a filler track on this album, just something connecting two parts of the album together. The next track is more interesting, I guarantee you.
