If you like dark ambient music (not of the dance variety) then this CD is for you. In 'Cloud Fragments' a sound curtain conjures up images of an imaginary landscape which provides the backdrop, low in the mix, for an ethereal drifting atmosphere. The music is superbly descriptive and you can almost feel the heat shimmering from the speakers - very atmospheric stuff. 'Lumina' again makes use of subtle nuances in timbre with only the slightest hint of structure. 'Fragile Light' is also a rather dark ominous track with some wonderful textures in the background. Haunting other worldly deep synth drones are the order of the day. 'Visage Spectral' conjure up journeys into the subterranean and this it does superbly. Strange hypnotic timbres give the whole thing some structure where that is needed but overall the feel is of great depth, huge caverns and a rather eerie peace. If you are into dark space music you should love this album. This CD is very relaxing though a bit eerie in places - should be great to listen to in the dark. Steve Roach fans should try it out.
