Starting off with some spaced out sound layers, delayed sound effects and a playful melody line, the first track becomes more and more lively until some decent beats finally deliver some more energy. The journey continues with a wonderful melancholic piano track, again provided with a subtle beat structure. As mentioned, the cover artwork is perfectly suitable for the music: Very meditative, very blissful and positive. The first 3 tracks of the CD contain some rhythmic elements to provide one's body beside the mind, the others are definitely aiming the head and are very suitable for opium-flavoured chill outs, inner space flights or intimate situations. Carefully: When listening to this music on one's headphone while driving a vehicle, one might be sued because of being intoxicated in public traffic ;)

Nice sounds for special moments- may the beautiful artwork with the meditating being and the caleidoscopic patterns be an inspiration for you which situation is probably perfect for this music...!
