This one starts out very weird...sounds like something out of 2001! Well,
after that, it reverts back to my usual schlok. =)

There was an unusually long gap between the completion of this song and the one that preceded it, Pretzelstock. It’s possible that during that gap I completed Valor (since I don’t actually remember where that one falls in my song completion order). The most likely explanation for the gap is because I was in a school musical of “A Christmas Carol” and rehearsal consumed a lot of my time in November and early December. Actually, it was a variation called “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” written by our drama teacher. It was a fun show.
I also mention the “AAC music disk” in the comments. I think I intended to release a music disk before Christmas, and the title was “An Arcturus Christmas.” I don’t think I ended up doing it, though, except perhaps on R-Squared. It would explain why I had a flurry of new songs released between December 12-30 of 1996, with this one being the first. These songs were also my final songs as a member of Quasar. In 1997, I would move on to bigger things. So, I suppose The Ethereal Plane represented the beginning of the end of my early days of tracking.
Apropos to nothing, the following year I actually did make a song called An Arcturus Christmas.
My objective in this song was to make something that sounded like Lighetti’s music in the soundtrack to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think I got the dissonance down. However, I wasn’t really able to sustain it because it sounded, well, bad. So I decided to transition it into something else part way through - opting for a slow, muted heavy metal sound. This didn’t really sound great either, but hey, at least I tried. I suspect that I was in a hurry to get tracks out in time to have a music disk named “An Arcturus Christmas.”
So this song was definitely not great, but not quite the worst I made for Quasar (that would be Jade ~ 2:30 ~, which was dreadful in almost every respect).
