Enearth – Daze

Enearth’s Daze begins with “Intro: Time Zero”, which starts with quickly delayed beats which have a secondary delay effect on them for rhythmic effect. Over this, murky synth pads start accompanied by a repeating minor-key synth string and bell melody. A rich bass synth starts playing another melody, which quickly becomes the focus as the rest of the sound. The beats drop out. A bell plays a single note repeatedly, then in double time, and the track ends.

“Agonizing Voyage” starts with sound reminiscent of a slow-moving beast scraping through caves, heavy on the low end with quite a bit of reverb. Voices play in lower-octaves, and after a bit, notes rich in harmonics play over the mix and drone. A reverb laden-synth pad comes in, playing a very slow melody. The slow-moving sounds become more intense, and then drop out mostly, leaving the synths, which also drop out except for the low voice, which fades out, ending the track.

“Code Corruption” begins with some low noise with some chorus on it, which oscillates slowly. Some other lower noises play, not rhythmically. Lower-volume noise plays in a staccato manner, and then some white noise plays with a filter sweep on it while what sounds a bit like (but isn’t) a microphone being adjusted plays. A metallic clink plays without much of a time signature, and a low voice sounds with a strike of wood-like percussion. Chorused, low noise comes in, and is soon accompanied by a voice-like, reverb-laden patch. The chorused low noise becomes a little louder while the voice plays. The low noise and the voice drop out, and a distorted sound like microphone noise plays in a loop for a bit, and a rich synth pad starts up, playing a drone as all other sounds drop out. Then, the drone drops out at the end of the track.

In “Silently Death”, a reverb laden pad plays just below mid-range. A low voice-patch comes fading in, and some low-mid noises start playing with reverb on them. A synth string plays. The low voice patch sounds by itself with the low-mid noises. Low, reverb laden voice-like sounds play, played at different notes. Then all fades out.

“Diagnosis Restored” begins with some beats accompanied by a voice patch, and a whispery noise with a long attack and decay plays, first lower, then at a higher voiume. The voice patch plays a slightly more complex melody at a slightly higher pitch. A convoluted voice plays with reverb and distortion on it, repeating something indiscernible. The beats become more reverb laden and change in character. A highly reverb-laden sound that’s slightly tonal plays a semi-melody.

“Outro: Punishment” begins with a minor key synthesizer melody, which is accompanied by a drone, a pad, and soon some arrhythmic percussion noises. There is some development in the pad, and the resonance on the drone is altered a bit. Then all suddenly drops out, ending the album.
