Inspired by time spent
at a lodge alongside the
Frio River in Texas, this lovely music is
introspective and pastoral in turns, somehow
managing to sound both lush and
delicate at the same time. Johnson’s pretty
keyboard themes and melodies merge perfectly
with Keaggy’s gorgeous guitar
textures and evocative melodic figures.
Rich acoustic chords and counterpoint
lines, subtle volume swells and tapereverse
effects, perfectly placed harmonics,
intriguing loops, and ultra-tasteful acoustic
and electric soloing make this instrumental
new age/ambient recording one of the
most satisfying and sophisticated in the
genre. Ark.
