Electronic Instrumental. Its hard to imagine the entertaining and charismatic
Brian Lee producing an album so contrasted with his public persona, but then
the delight of the subconscious is its limitless capacity to surprise. This is an
album composed in dreamtime which escapes the clichés bedevilling so much
New Age synth music. It consists principally of slowly evolving melodic chords
played on wind-inspired synth sounds (expertly programmed by Clive Ives).
Titles such as Moon Whales and Door into Nothing suggest the sound world,
but what makes Brian Lee's music original is that he subtly retunes certain
notes in the scale to create effects of unearthly beauty and purity that are
directly in tune with the psychic self.
Therapists, especially hypnotherapists may find this will produce a very
interesting quality of subconscious awareness in their clients.

Subtle and magical. When given undivided attention this album takes you to a
very deep state, excellent for self-healing. Like a far-north land with pine and
cedar forests, mirror-smooth lakes, natural silence and rich velvety darkness.
Emerge revitalised. 
"Wonderful! Thank you so much for sending me your new
cassette. It is beautiful and introspective and sparse
yet commanding of relaxed attention - a special release
I think..."
John Hitchens, painter, Petworth,

"I heard your music. I dreamed. I relaxed."
Giorgio Pennazzato, artist, Venice,
Italy.
"You've managed to get some very beautiful spaces out
of a pretty minimal setup! "
