English:

This is the best ambient record I have heard in years. Marvin Ayres have done here an outstanding job. Aerie, imaginative and enchanting, this minimalistic album has been already a lot of turns in my CD-player, especially when I need a quiet atmosphere for an evening read or just want to create an easy environment. Ayres uses treated string instruments, soundscapes and voices in a somewhat Gregorian style to shape an unearthly ambiance, enveloping the listener in his music and giving him calmness and freedom in the same time. Highly recommended for the connoisseurs of Brian Eno.


Nederlands:

Dit is het beste ambient album dat ik sinds jaren gehoord heb. Marvin Ayres heeft hier een uitstekend werk gedaan. Luchtig, fantasierijk en betoverend, deze minimalistische cd is al meer dan een paar beurten in mijn cd-speler geweest, in het bijzonder wanneer ik naar een rustige sfeer voor mijn avondleesbeurt zoek, of gewoon een “makkelijke” omgeving wil creëren. Ayres gebruikt treated snaarinstrumenten, soundscapes en stemmen in een Gregoriaanse stijl om een onaardse omgeving te vormen, die omhult de luisteraar en tegelijkertijd geeft hem kalmte en vrijheid.
Hoogst aanbevolen aan de connaisseurs van Brian Eno.
