This soundtrack work is so right for Piano Magic to be doing. Glen Johnson and Co., deliver a beautifully moody set of six untitled instrumentals, though part of this already appeared as Darla's Bliss Out Volume 13. The whole (rather short, under 38 min.) album has a dreamy atmospheric twilight-zone sense of displacement; feeling lightheaded, maybe slightly seasick, and high as a kite. Wonderful organic/synthetic instrumentation and plenty of cool spacious distance to dissolve into as your own soundtrack or discreet headphone vacation.
