This is a warm, sumptuous album, despite it's slightly cold title. Created purely from gentle synth tones gliding gently between each other, it has a subtle melodic quality without playing tunes as such. It is more like the exploration of a tonal centre and I can imagine this being the result of real time improvisation. It comprises 3 tracks, each around 20 minutes long and includes detailed sounds in a huge, enveloping reverb.
This album is perfect for relaxing, drifting away and letting the mind wander or even falling asleep (that's no bad thing in my book- in fact it's a top qualification for any ambient music). It is a prime example of self-restraint as being a key ingredient for ambient music, less is most definitely more and this demonstrates it beautifully.
