It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Candiria energies, virtually a rebirth. While no new Candiria album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1997 tour in Australia. Stanley Donwood has compared writing for Candiria’s new album to that on ‘Beyond Reasonable Doubt’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Year One
Candiria has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving.
Year One is the more seemingly obscure song on Beyond Reasonable Doubt that bear up best to repeated listening. The opening track Lost In The Forest is very much like you would expect from other albums. Paradigm Shift is probably the highlight of the album. Tribes is the albums biggest surprise. Molecular Dialect is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Divided has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. Mental Politics - This one is lively and fun. I can’t stop humming along Riding The Spiral. If you are a Candiria fan, you will love Primary Obstacle. Intrusive Statements is nothing short of a modern masterpiece.
