A collection of twelve previously unreleased tracks from Grade 10's Prayer. Exploring the expanse of his pallet this set delves into ambient, modern classical, jungle and experimental. A great presentation of Prayer's genre defying sound that will appeal to a broad range of listeners.

"Emotion in sound can be driven by resolving dissonances. It is within these states of limbo that we find ourselves momentarily lost, seeking an end point to sooth and assure, before reflecting upon the micro moment of chaos that has preceded. We find satisfaction in a conclusion, but the emotional impact is amplified when the path leading up to it is a turbulent one. The abrasive and the coherent mix together to create something sublime - both parts combined being far more powerful than the individual component.Texture provides an opportunity for endless discovery. An idea that may at first seem obvious is in fact deeply convoluted, inviting the audience to engage in deep listening and gather further insight upon each repeated engagement. This approach presents an impression of a subject rather than a literal representation, and encourages the individual to use their imagination to reach a unique interpretation.Structure and metre holds everything together. Sections are built in blocks and when attached to one another lead to an infinite amount of pathways, with each component being defined by the circumstances and moment in time in which it was written." - Prayer
