The Mediterranean circa B.C. - when Crete flourished in culture and life. The famous bull-jumpers performed their dangerous sport in utter bliss with no worries of death as the town square bustled with daily activity. At that time, it seemed like a utopia. And as this image floats by, Engine Down's music is the perfect soundtrack. Music that transcends the toils of everyday life in our modern age- travelling through time touching the rawest of human emotion. Explosive bursts of energy, lush guitars along with vibraphon and cello make this release stand alone as a formal digitally encrypted introduction to the innovative musical force known as Engine Down.
