While this says it’s by Theo Travis, Steven Wilson provided soundscapes and production. This is meant to be mellow, background type music. That makes it hard to review, really. Let’s just say that I can see how it would work well for meditation. Now, this includes both the CD and a Blu-Ray. Since we do different type reviews for those two formats, this gets weird. The Blu-Ray is not a video release, though. It includes three different mixes of the main 60-minute epic first. It also has a four minute edit of the piece. Finally, we get something called “Ancient Soul Modern Times,” which is basically a different sort of mix of the same musical concepts. Since we don’t do track by track on Blu-Ray discs, and that’s basically just a bonus item, the track review here will be just the title epic.

Ambient elements bring us in, and the track builds out gradually with a slow moving arrangement that seems more organic than electronic, but does have both elements. This thing is ambient, relaxing music. I guess, given the title and purpose, that makes sense. It almost seems to end around the half-way mark (in case you didn’t figure it out, the track is exactly an hour long). We get even more atmospheric stuff as it builds out gradually from there. This track is intriguing stuff, but it doesn’t change all that much. That means, it’s not necessarily meant for careful listening, or track by track reviews, but since that’s how we do reviews at MSJ, here we are.
