An innovative, purposely designed, ambiently orchestrated album that renders in sound what its titles intend to be witnessed. A bit pricey for a download but quite a find.

This album deserves far more attention..!!
An absolutely impressive album, beautiful compositions with a fantastic and unique soundscape.
As a listener, you want more... and you get that in abundance. The soundscapes change constantly, from deep mystery to seductive and light dreamlike melodies that seduce and put us listeners in a state of peace and well-being.
One senses a presence and clear inspiration from Tangerine Dream, Frose, Franke, Schmoelling and Schultze.
Bravo mr. Ellis.. Bravo! synthreplicants
