Their unusual name may be difficult to read and pronounce initially but is easy to remember when parsed as the three syllables <em>clep-sih-dra</em>. The meaning of the word is an ancient water clock, a device for telling time based on the movement of water through its construction. A charming storybook-style image of a clepsydra appears on the album cover.</p>
