The album is also interspersed with plenty of instrumentals. On `Blood Drip", Dexter nods to his love of hip hop and Carlos" abstract ambience in projects like Ammon Contact and Hu Vibrational, while `Suijin" evokes the changes and harmonies of classic Stevie Wonder. Even the influence of The Cavern"s favorite sons get a nod on the penul??mate track `Spring", with its alternate rising and falling progressions. That"s at the heart of `Seasons", the rise and fall of the annual journey, the themes of death, rebirth and renewal. Some songs recall the warming, fiery crescendo to sum- mer, while others hint at the cooling down to winter. `Seasons" is about life and the planetary cycle, and in that sense it"s an album everyone can relate to.
