The main sequence "riff" in this tune has been bouncing around my head for a few years now but never quite fit anywhere (I had briefly considered trying to use it somewhere on 'Lord of Hounds' but nope).
From the "it's the little things" department...in the middle of this song is a very subtle "hi hat" tone created with my Deckard's Dream and white noise. It wasn't terribly sophisticated, but it's a sound that I've been dying to use for a long time now, and I was thrilled to finally see it happen (I also used it for the improv "Return Receipt" song you can find on YouTube).
In my mind's eye, I saw something futuristic in the music; massive machines overhead, omnipresent but weirdly unobtrusive. Someone else has already interpreted the song as being about swimming with whales. I love that too.

Among the best instrumental prog albums I've heard: brilliant musicianship, lots of light and shade; will appeal to heavy Rockers as well as symphonic proggers - love it! Phil Jackson

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
