'Ode to Ancestors'
|
"Gorgeously expansive synths-based music...you'll hear the whole world of Constance Demby open up before you like no other recording before it. It starts with Ode to Ancestors, a distinctly Kitaro-ish feel as synths, flute-synth and strings conjure visions of the Far East set on a heavenly synthesized plateau, as the soundscapes rise up and fill the sir with thoroughly exquisite textures and melodies, slow sounds of deep space rumbling as a distant undercurrent, but all absolutely spellbinding."

'Sky Blossoms'
|
Then into 'Sky Blossoms' in a heartbeat and here the sound of strings, lilting keyboards and added synth layers all rise in slowly symphonic fashion, creating this warm, building web of synth-dominated beauty, melodies cascading slowly down as the main body of the track fills and drifts in fine melodic, cosmic fashion." - Dead Earnest CD Reviews.

'Deeper Than'
|
'Deeper Than' is absolutely gorgeous, dominated by warm analogue layers of string synth, deep resonating synth bass and layers of melodies that float and flow, the whole thing almost uplifting and yet calming at the same time, as you just sit transfixed and riveted to the soundscapes that are all around you, with hardly a dry eye in the house."

'The Winding Path'
|
'The Winding Path' features piano prominently among the strings and space synths, the addition proving be to an almost natural extension of the whole feel of the music as notes and chords ripple and soar, again all incredibly uplifting and quite magical, the melodies touching every part of your soul."

'Mother Of The World'
|
After this it's directly into 'Mother Of The World' as the slow piano melodies ring out, the strings drift and Demby's sublime heavenly voice chants out, as a welcome tonal coloration to the music that spreads out all around, totally spiritual and absolutely wonderful."

'Tree Of Life'
|
With its sinuous melodies and deep space bass electronic undercurrents,
'Tree Of Life' starts quite richly textured but with a cosmic quality and great depth, before the Hammer Dulcimer ripples into action, Demby's soaring, wordless chant briefly appears above deep bass rivers and the whole thing flows majestically towards its finale."

'Dragon'sEye'
|
'Dragon's Eye' returns to the huge-sounding, uplifting might of synths and strings to create a vast symphony of sound with space synths twittering all around and a feel that is incredibly refreshing."
|
8.
'Threshold'
|
Finally the album ends in electronic heaven with 'Threshold' - synth strings, space synths, bass rumbles and that sort of vast, expansive choral quality that you hear in cathedrals as the music fills the air creating the magical spells that can only be found in such places, as you finally and slowly ascend to the final resting place of what has been a truly spellbinding musical journey."
