    The opening half sees him attempt something a little different with mixed results, the second half seems him return to more familiar ground with only moderate success.

    While All Melody’s textures are magnificent, plick-plocking susurrations, his treatment of the human voice is like a gash in an otherwise beauteous canvas.

Every sound, every overflow, a transition from tone to tone, from instrument to instrument ... This is like a theatrical production, in which the main roles are played by instruments. It's like a living organism, like a cosmos. This art, which must be able to enjoy.
    And I assure you, when you hear, you will not be disappointed. It will not take long to wait, - the album from the first track carries with it ... "The Whole Universe Wants To Be Touched" ... Amazing!
