2. A Desert of Furious Winds (15:34)

4. A Spherical Ocean (15:02)
Total playing time: 1:00:35
On his latest release Evergreen Forest experimented further with his experimental acoustic improvisation meets dark-ambient atmosphere formula. 'Philosophy of Nature' is by far the most experimental Evergreen Forest release thus far and is also the most developed in terms of song structure. The album has a concept of four sides of nature. Each song represents a different side and the album as a whole is meant to suggest that the way in which all natural things work together is like a philosophy. The album begins with the lulling, ambient sound of the beginning of 'A Storm of Majesty' which quickly progresses into faster acoustic guitar and waves of sound and then crosses over into 'A Desert of Furious Winds' which is an eccentric vision of a desert that humankind shall never find with strange birds chirping and winds furiously blowing creating reverberating sandstorm-esque soundscapes. Then onto 'A Maze-like Forest of Perennial Trees', the weirdest and most unsettling song on the album. It moves from almost noise-like sounds at the beginning through lots of experimentation and eventually finishes with the most dark-ambient-like music that Evergreen Forest has created. Vast, terrifying waves of sound that make the listener feel as though they are in an uncharted cave with unspeakable creatures. Finally 'A Spherical Ocean' takes the listener on a relaxing journey under the waves and into the ocean. The laid back soundscapes, psychedelic guitar and shimmering vocals return the listener to a relaxed state before the album fades out with the sound of the oceans waves crashing together.
