In Lesson No. 2 dense neurotic chords stalk the listener through white walled corridors, chased by splashing shadows of implacable menstrual blood. The Spectacular Commodity begins with noble exclamations of purity, but then slips into existential nausea nipping at the soul, leading to self-immolation. From the ashes arises the most magnificent phoenix soaring mightily towards the heavens, riding a golden beam of light extending from the clouds. Light Field sounds like flying through space at warp speeds.
