Very well done piece. Sounds very good even though harmony is simple. I like the effects and its peaceful but powerful way to move forward.

It is with delight that I rate this piece. This is a work that conveys emotion with precision. Made up of primarily 3 movements, they each have their own feelings of elation, awe, and introspection. Sometimes, there are loose style-associations to other, established, new age Artists' I've heard before; making the adventure of the piece that much more intriguing. The essence of the work is a build around a modest G-Major melody with supportive percussion and special-effect style sounds in the beginning. The middle section is a modification of this, alluding to G-Minor with some well-placed chords; and backed up by a percussion and effects package similar to works by Tangerine Dream on their "Poland/Warsaw Concerts" albums. The closing movement reprises the beginning but with added effects and slightly different phrasing. Throughout, there is at least one part or item that will reflect the previous movement...allowing for smooth transition and adding nice cohesion overall. This work would easily find its place on an album if given the opportunity. A brilliant song well-worth a listen. A masterful and wondrous creation. This work sets its own premise.
