A few years after the release of Cynic's Re- Traced EP, Sean Malone recorded fretless bass on this solo guitar and vocal track titled 'Integral.'
lyrics
I touch the string
though the harp may not sing
still I dig the sky
for sun sparks to guide
down below theres a land
with an ominous hole
dug deep in the sand of belief
a million doves
orbit round the earth
with tears of blood
dare the virgin take integral birth
from the void I am born
into wave and particle
In the uncreated light
emerged an oracle
a million doves
orbit round the earth
with tears of blood
slay the dragon take integral birth
weep no more
noble silence
usher my way home
a million doves
orbit round the earth
with tears that flood
line in sand erased
we are but one
cosmic cavalcade
we are but one
time has come
I take integral birth

One of the most spectacular albums I've heard since Lateralus. Amazing that this came as the output of a person grieving the loss of people whom they built lives and careers together with. The pain yet exuberance of this music is so enlivening, full of need for empathy and sympathy yet also hope and joy in carrying on to be an awakened person and express the highest good. Advosary

It's rare that a band comes back after over a decade, and manages to live up to the legendary reputation they left behind. Not only did Cynic live up to their legacy, but Traced In Air might have actually surpassed Focus in some respects. honeycombguy

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
