''A Warm Glimpse'' is the first studio album released by
Finnish progressive death metal band
Farmakon. The album was originally released in 2003, under
Earache Records. The opening track, "Loosely of Ameobas" was included on
Earache's "Metal: A Headbanger's Companion II" compilation.
The musical style mixes death metal with funk and jazz, with both clean vocals and
death growls, interspersed throughout the songs, and
scat singing done in both methods, on "Flavored Numerology". The style is frequently cited as being similar to the works of
