A thundery intro to Rainmakers gives way to metallically clanging tones, shakers and radiant guitar swells. Busy synth sequences burrow into the core of
Topaz (4:07) which is adorned with slithering winds and chiming glimmers.
I can almost picture Stephanie conducting the celestial orchestra which graces scenic
Twilight, except of course, there is no orchestra, just lush layers of her own free-floating synthsounds.
Sonic rays project through the mists of Giza (9:24), sometimes warping slightly, pitch-bending through a gaseously shimmering veil, where faux sax, strings and piano traipse with sensuous movements.
With swaying strands of crystalline tones and multi-note plinks, Iridescence evokes some vague combination of "Oriental-ish" and "glassy" (for what that's worth as a descriptor...).
The adeptly plucked guitar strings of
Unseen seem earthly enough, though they're draped with wafting curtains of ethreal fabrics.
Spacey expanses are decorated with twirling gleams and whispering winds as
Cycles emits strings on slightly warped trajectories.
And... I learned a new word while reading the liner notes... "peregrination"! I was afraid that meant the music was going to turn me into a falcon, but instead it refers to a "wandering about" which in this case is apt... a peregrination down a lovely, meandering trail of wonder.
