 * Alternative Rock: Mother Tongue is probably the rockiest track on Colonies.
 * Ambient: Mouth To Mouth and Kingfisher Sweet stand out in particular. Canon Blue describes himself as being an ambient musician.
 * Cover Version: He covered Crying by Roy Orbison.
 * Dream Pop
 * Echoing Acoustics: Lots of reverb here.
 * Epic Instrumental Opener: Halcyon
 * Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly: There's a reason he's tagged as "experimental" on last.fm.
 * Piss-Take Rap: Battle Hymn. It's not a bad song, it's just that he normally sounds slightly camp.
