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.
