Music
The music of the Great Dividing Range shows the influences of country rock pioneers such as Gram Parsons and The Byrds, adding the guitar stylings and rhythms of the lo-fi movement (e.g. Pavement, Guided by Voices) overlaid with experimental synthesizer and noise manipulation effects. The harmonic content is sometimes complex; simple progressions like that of "Comfort Zone" or "Blank Canvas" give way to polychordal sections ("Mr Tailor"), chromatic passages ("Loneliness Is Two Faced") or atonal ramblings ("Age of.....").

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“The music stopp’d, and I stood still,
And found myself outside the Hill,
Left alone against my will,
To go now limping as before,
And never hear of that country more!””
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“Through music the passions enjoy themselves.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
