Songs

The album starts with "Taking Flight," full of repetitive rhythms and themes, percussive groove. The title track, "Trance Spirits", begins with a slow series of rhythms and atmospheres. In the middle of the album, tracks "Off Spring", "Seekers" and "The Calling" are pure ambient soundscapes with percussive edges. "Year of the Horse" has a synthetic and electric rhythm. The final track, "In the Same Deep Water", contains ethereal drone themes with drumming by Fayman and Momodou Kah.
