The Torn/Berne/Smith trio, features alone on two of this album's three intense tracks whose vast sonic tapestries belie the fact that only a trio is weaving them, with live electronics by Torn and Smith expanding the aural envelope. The third track showcases an extended ensemble with two extra guitars, keyboards, and a string quartet; it's an otherworldly creation, ranging from hovering atmospherics to dark-hued lyricism to storming, sky-rending grandeur.
