Four years in the making, The Observatory's seventh album, "Continuum", is their take on Indonesia's gamelan music tradition. Partially written and recorded in Lodtunduh, Bali, "Continuum" found The Observatory devising their own six-note scale of E, F, F#, A#, C and D#. Inspired in part by Talk Talk and Jiddu Krishnamurti, "Continuum" had the noise musician Lasse Marhaug contributing a remix, "Part 6", to its release. Released on double vinyl, CD and digitally, "Continuum" was launched at The Substation on 23 July 2015 at a launch concert with an ensemble of 10 musicians, with "The Straits Times" finding "the East-meets-West soundscape...hypnotic in the way it tightly enveloped the audience" at the "seamless art-rock concert". "Continuum" was partially funded by the National Arts Council's Arts Creation Fund.
