I looked it up too; it means the transitional state between sleep and waking. Óskar Thorarensen – Jafet Melge/Inferno 5 – and his son Pan Thorarensen, aka Beatmakin Troopa, build on the organic electronic of Parallel Island with this woozy long-player, this time produced at Snæfellsnes all the way over… there.
