It's very hard to accurately describe how this album truly makes me feel. It's like leaving your home late at night during a moderate down-pour, catching a cab cross-town, and breaking into an art museaum for the sole (soul) purpose of viewing a Monet, all by yourself, in the dark.
Really. I know how abstract that sounds.
The best way to listen to this work is by yourself, in the dark. Try not to hear the whir of your CD player or the muffled TV in another room. Focus on the music. Don't attribute it to the man who created it, though there be no denying him. Try to imagine that the music has somehow manifested itself from your own waking mind... you might find something. The final track, "Dissolve," is breath-taking. It's like you've spent the first six tracks discovering yourself, then your new-found reality "dissolves" away as you descend back into this reality that we share with each other. You'll soon find yourself, putting the lights back on, switching the CD back to track 1, hitting the lights again and seeking out that waking dream, one more time...

I would like to see a music DVD with this music set to animated
characters like the Pipe People I saw on a recent TV commercial. When I first heard this music, I listened to it in the dark upon going to bed. I immediately associated it with the Pipe People characters in my mind's eye. The dripping sounds seemed to be appropriate.
