Track breakdown by Chris Hayes:

"A1 - Desire

Opening the EP in quietly epic fashion, Desire begins with a delightful beat pattern with a distinctive cymbal hit set over warm bass tones and whale song samples. A smooth, thoughtful bass melody is introduced which joyfully intersects with gorgeous piano keys while swirling strings and atmospheric vibes layer and recede like tides of the ocean, creating a truly unique journey of a track that will linger anywhere it may be heard.

A2 - Voidscaping
\
Instantly setting the scene with crisp, striking breaks, Voidscaping is an atmospheric treat for the senses with serene throwback pads reminiscent of the halcyon days of Good Looking. Bringing the piece up to date for the Spatial era is the typically intricate blending of reflection and intrigue ASC conjures with his sampling and reverb work, effortlessly thickening the soundscape with memories old and new.

AA1 - Let Go

Opening with the vibrant sounds of twilight nature and metallic bongos, ASC sparingly deploys a glorious choral vocal before the breaks take off with an energetic pattern driven by constant, playful hi hats. As the track develops, questions are asked of the listener by the curious atmosphere, gradually unraveling with strings, synths and trademark vocal usage, offering a new perspective with each listen.

AA2 - Meltdown

A darkly, anxious undertone floods the mix as Meltdown grips the listener from the first bar with skillfully sequenced minimal breaks, hi hats that whoosh in and out like evening crickets you can’t quite track, and intense ambient padwork. A longing female vocal occasionally yearns over the various melodies which enter at will, discreetly developing the mood with purpose, unfurling a stream of aural consciousness from this incredible producer."
