This sci-fi apocalyptic tale begins, appropriately enough, at "The Beginning," a swirling moody piece that sets the tone for the story.
The title track is bright and majestic befitting the theme. Despite the dark subject matter, this mellow track has Mac's characteristic bouncy upbeat rhythm and melody.
"Endless Rain" features a funky little bass line and a nice vintage synth lead. Bright piano complements the mood as well.
"Transition" has a similar vibe for a while, but then gets really rocking at the end.
Nicely contrasting this is "Null," with ominous male choirs, dark airy synths, and drums playing in the background like a processional. A nice little sequence picks up the pace midway through although the tone remains subdued.
"Street of Survivors" begins as a quirky experimental piece with samples that form the most unusual percussion, though it eventually moves back into familiar melodious Mac territory.
"Crumbling Buildings" is the longest and best track, a fantastic retro outing with a steady backbeat, warm synth pads, and perfectly restrained sequencing.
"Zareth" sounds like Vangelis, ending the disc with a regal flourish.
