This second production by US-based composer and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Bartlett continues where his first ended, but with several improvements.

New age tinged music is still the name of the game; and synths still the dominating instrument. This time around there are more symphonic tinged segments around though; and Bartlett has added more contrasts to his compositions; especially adding more dark textures and undercurrents underscoring the lighter ethereal layers. Backing vocals and vocal effects with distinct world music leanings, the addition of drums in many tunes, atmospheric guitar soloing as ell as acoustic guitar adds to the nuances explored; and the addition of eastern-sounding musical elements also keeps up interest when utilized.

Dark-tinged symphonic electronic music with some leanings towards symphonic rock is the name of the game here; with a certain emphasis on space-sounding explorations. High class all the way, and a release that should cater for the needs of many into new age as well as symphonic rock and space rock.
