In essence, the tracks form restless, computer-generated whirlpools of fragmented guitar and piano sounds. The opener Elling offers a meditative four minutes of what sounds like music boxes and organs singing in joyous harmony, with the material's fluttering clicks and trills suggestive of Oval in a peaceful mood. Much of the album, in fact, is reminiscent of Oval in general style but with much of the abrasiveness removed. The jagged guitar shards of Refrained stutter as relentlessly as any Oval track ever did, while Flutter and Dream Seeds are radically besieged and broken-up by computer processing. Even if there is a derivative dimension to the album's contents, there's also no denying Lulla's occasional prettiness: its title piece is a pretty reverie of glistening and shimmering sounds, and look beyond the surface manipulations and you'll find a melancholy heart beating at the center of Stars Eyes Heart.
