Eric Sneo nods firmly to the past and the bassline of the opening title track puts us right in the mood, with a laid-back roller based on phased percussion. Things get kicked up a notch in "Expansion" where a pulsating bass takes the chugging rhythm section on a drum-heavy ride.The retro vibes continue with the closing "Collective Spirit" and effect-laden drum trickery leads to proper tribal mayhem.
