Hey Bruce!! Man, I just can't keep up anymore! I am just now getting to this one! Anyhoo...great show....as always! Just loved the opening track Apollo 8! True space travel music at its best! The lead synth is so BIG and creates the perfect sense of voyaging into the unknown. Also dig how it opens up into a Tangerine Dream-ish rhythm. Great fun! Moon 19 is also great in the sense that it draws me into that realm of no return. Great chill/lounge type feel as well. A joy ride into the heavens. Great riding music...so get on that bike and ride like the wind! ;) I have the album that Deep Blue is on. So peaceful and relaxing, this track! Love the lush keyboards and swooshy background fill. Floating in heaven! I am going to listen to the whole album now! Now the track by John Lyell is new for me. Twilight Passing reminds me a little of Jonn Serrie's Gentle, The Night. Great music! I see the moon dancing with the stars in a sort of ballet of light...when everyone is asleep and cannot see it. Beautiful! First Strands of Galactic Formation...WOW! This is great EM! Vast and enveloping at the same time. Caresses my ears with soothing drones and harmonics from way, way out there...as if beckoning me... to that infinity! I am glad I am at home and not driving with this one...! ;) Chuck Van Zyl's Regeneration Mode is very DARK and very DEEP. A little Patrick O'Hearn or Steven Halpern similarities in that one. Very nice. I also like the ending drum rhythm and R2-D2-ish playful tid-bits in there! This is all music I would love to have played if I am ever in the hospital recovering from something. Very healing...! Oh Meg Bowles...love it! Lost Lake starts off kind of scary like looking out over a fog laden lake in the late evening...in the dark...with little light to go on and hearing the dead silence around you. Kind of eerie! But then it opens up a little and offers some very nice relaxing imagery as well. I like it a lot. Love the 'out there' tinkling sounds toward the end. Very distant... Blessings is a very beautiful track. Mr. Dyson does a great job of engaging the listener...with the quiet choral vocals and all, I was hooked! ;) Thanks so much again for sharing all your splendid music Bruce! Keep it coming...! Cheers! Chris
