Ouroboros is an ancient alchemy symbol depicting a snake or dragon consuming its own tail, constantly creating itself and forming a circle. Hence the cover!
Aptly "Cycle" does just that, it constantly recycles and consumes itself, over and over in changing combinations, ending how it started! Okay, the idea is similar to our previous 1 track opus "MoebiusStrip" yet the results are quite different as a lot has changed in the Triax sound since 2005, the instrumentation is richer, with more colours and textures, greater dynamics and musical form. It is both the Triax sound in a nutshell and unlike any Triax before it!

Born out of the Extremities project, in a sense, in 2003 Triax couples Alto Stratus with the strangely processed hurdy-gurdy
