On their second album, Wyatt E. again keep it down to just two large songs, this time with “Nebuchadnezzar II” and “Ode to Ishtar”.  The A-side leads with a few minutes of keyboard atmospherics, running slow sitar-like synths against muted bass booms, until a comparatively urgent strain of electric guitar develops, proceeding from there through a steady intensification of pressure and volume, before dropping into a lengthy bridge, then rebuilding, then dropping off again for the finish.  The B-side sets out with an assertive bass-line and drifting synth effects, and the eventual arrival of the guitar shifts it into a more energetic mode, which it follows for some time before trading back and forth with the synths.  Interesting material with a strong sense of moody atmosphere, and despite the length of each track, neither really seems to drag.
