Comments

  • A monastic / contemplative retreat — the Catholic, Orthodox and Buddhist practice of withdrawing from the world for a period of intensified prayer or meditation. Time and space are both abandoned: the retreatant steps out of the flow of duration into a cell, a bardo, a hermitage.
  • Pairs with "Somewhere Right Now In The Future" and "I Saw Through Platonia" as the album's trio of time-transcendence titles — together they narrate a movement from ordinary time, through retreat, to beatific vision.
  • Also reads plainly as BoC's own description: the band's famous withdrawal into the rural Pentland Hills studio Hexagon Sun, their 13-year silence between Tomorrow's Harvest and Inferno.
