    Ashton Nyte's slow and doomy music is almost always deliberate and worthy of the lofty label of "art." The Fountain is no exception. Lyrically, Nyte has made a turn for the more revealing sense of awe and faith in his God. "Martyr" is like an apologetic for the deity of Christ, while "Cerebral Song" affirms the Spirit's penchant for comfort.
