Bright, Sirocco, and sun scorched.

The delayed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003etextures, long reverb trails, and sound sources of unknown origin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat does make Earthquake stand out from the two albums is the epic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003enature of the album.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlthough The Beyond saw Drift incorporating lengthy compositions,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEarthquake takes them to gargantuan proportions, with\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etracks as long\u003cbr\u003eas 30 and 40 minutes.
