"Valerie Loop": Extended ambient successions opens the piece in heavily modal sweeps, painting a landscape reminiscent of some early Brian Eno / Jon Hassell leisures ("Possible Musics", "Discreet Music"). Jazzy bells of the keyboards and soft rustles of the high-hat move this summer music into an absentminded meditation... You're left standing on the sidewalk. You forget who you are... and soundless voids appear and recede...
"When Julia Smiles": Like a sad, sorrowful ballad of olden days, gone-by centuries, this brief comment passes in an atmosphere akin to that of medieval troubadours portraying princesses and gallant riders of Brittany...

Beautifully counterpoints of piano and strings signal a sign-language message of restfulness and appeasement. It's a sad audio poem of the moment...

This is one of the dreamiest, most sensual audio collections I've heard. Beautiful! (with an edge!) The cover art by Giovanni Antognozzi perfectly matches the fastidious content of the CD with its laconic, minimalistic expression!
