This piece involves both the previously employed bridge percussion technique as well as some polyrhythmic layering that obscures one’s sense of where the groove begins and ends. Fade (Afterglow) represents surrender - making peace with what is, before returning to the infinite. It has a hypnotic quality, and in a way the studio version was meant to cradle the listener almost like a lullaby, disarming them of their thoughts and beckoning them into the embrace of sleep. This live version contains an improvised solo which gives the movement a more impassioned quality. The oceanic Unending II portrays the dissolution of self and its gradual subsumption by the natural world and the elements.
