Terri's voice brings to mind a cross between Kate Bush and Sade, though I've heard so much of her music now that to my ears she has her own recognizable sound. The sultry lounge jazz of "Ephemeral Fire" has the most overtly Sade sound. Jazz influences often spice the music but "Time Will Tell" is the one other track with a strong jazz flavor. "An Only Child", "Menage A Trois" and "Hector" are the songs that struck me as the most primo examples of songs that are indeed "songs", but are backed by music that will make fans of melodic progressive rock swoon. "Listen" and "Girl Power" are the tracks that have the most interesting keyboard work, the former including nice bubbling and bleeping synths and wailing guitar notes, and the latter incorporating a little dose of funk. "Sandalphon" is a standout with freaky guitar and Dub rhythms. "Floating" is one of the spacier songs on the album and also has a touch of the Dub beats. "Baird, My Soul" is the heaviest song on the album and showcases the potent rocking soulful side of Terri as a singer. And the closing track, "Dream World", sees Terri and company journeying off to a place where you can close your eyes and watch as the visions that slumber produces parade before you. A haunting, but not nightmarish, collage of sounds and atmospherics.
