Like Saturn Devours His Children is a successor to previous Trailing Space album, Bring The Darkness Over This Place (2006). It is an instrumental story of revolutions, manipulation, gullibility and consequences.

It is easy to go wrong with this kind of music, but chda manages to keep the level of style and quality high thru this laidback dub/triphop/idm/jazz influenced release. Let it be slowly growling dub in low register or almost danceable semi-breakbeat, chda keeps the productive values high.

This is the music to hum when the sky is pouring down.

1. Cold Is The Wind But Colder Are The Arms of The Night
2. Breaking The Sine Waves
3. Slower Traffic Keep Right
4. Interstellar Conventions
5. Vanishing World
