Geoff Westen has dubbed the music on BIRTH, Rock Ambient--everything ambient IS and plenty more of what ambient ISN’T. RA is music freed from the strict confines of pop song structure. These are musical journeys or soundscapes that have texture and concept. They ebb and flow, twist and turn—loud to quiet, frantic to soothing—all in one piece of music. It has allowed DA the freedom of sonic and structural exploration with no boundaries. By all means listen to BIRTH at low volume in the background; but instead of calming, it will energize your environment and arouse your subconscious. On the other hand, because RA has more edge, more punch and more guitars—with extreme dynamics and complex orchestration—our hardcore fans insist that RA can also be cranked up for an aural assault. Either way you go, it will stick in your head because there is always a melody entwined within the layers.
