New age music is meant to reassure and to calm... and like the short, warm poems printed in the Bandole jacket, Shastro's seamless works in this album soothe and engross. The music of this peaceful man is magically empowered to lift the spirit and fill the room with peace and wonder. It is not 'sleepy', it is not rancorous, weird or obscure... just brightly colorful, playfully mysterious, and like candy to the ear!
