    Moreso wallpaper music than his previous outings. I personally didn't care too much for this album the first time I heard it, but once I adjusted, it grew on me a bit. "Rising," "First Rain," and "Cycle" are all ready good songs, and I'd call them among his best material to date; however, I feel a lot of the album just didn't add up to the quality set by the better tracks.

It's very repetitive and minimal in a lot of places. It makes good background music or maybe some good music for stargazing or laying in a sunlit meadow. It's a lot different than anything he's done before. Expand

    Themes is a record meant to sooth in its sensing of a crisis. It subtly implements the element of time, fashioning aspects like life and death into an intertwining of beautiful textures.

    In all, Themes For Dying Earth is a positive riposte to negativity and dazzling light in the face of darkness.

    By listening to it, you are induced to disconnect from your surroundings, and to appreciate and find peace within the chaos of the everyday life and modern struggles. It’s not an isolation capsule, but you’ll definitely feel as though you’re floating to safety.
