Rated 10/10

Scales, tuning, instrumentation... all of it is unconventional, original (that originality drawing from sources of music across the globe as well as from her own mind), and not really duplicated afterward. To say this album is a trip is an understatement, for not only does it span the globe, as before mentioned, but it plumbs the depths of human creativity, itself an examination and exploration of the intersection of real instruments and digital sounds. A fecund cross-pollination. In the end, this album is how you interpret it, for the compositions challenge the listener to meet them halfway.
