Jim Dinan also records under the name Beyond the Eyes of Men. Beyond the Eyes of Men's sound is best described as minimal with dark introspective vocals and haunting dissonance wrapped in the sonic texture of post punk, acoustic and ambient music. Lyrically, there are myriad experiences pushing and pulling in continuous conflict with desire.

Very cool and trippy intro. I like the motion synth and the hard hitting trance like beat. Very cool sound. Although, the song just suddenly ends. Sounded like it got cut off. I liked what I heard of it! My internet is pretty shotty, I will come back and try again.
Really really really dig Tower. Everything in it's right place.. well done!!
This knocked me out the first time I heard it. I wish it was mine.
"Icons" is a wonderful package that hits many different receptors in my musical memory.
