From 1987 and an album of sonic grace, passion and delicacy; a kind of 'new age with substance'
as a set of quite expansive, vast tracks mix an endless ocean of synth backdrops with a gorgeous
top layer of majestic melodies, possessing a heartwarming quality, a wide array of textures and
rhythms, with classic filmic qualities including sinuous violin-like synth flows, delicate piano
and solid harpsichord-like passages with Oriental-sounding sections, all of which combine upon
an exotic array of rhythmic and melodic undercurrents to produce a dynamic set of music that
spans a range of synth music tastes from '80's Richard Burmer/Braheny to Kitaro, I.C. label and
beyond, yet somehow still managing to be original and organic.
