A beautiful serene soundscape that melds the choicest flute, piano, guitar, synthesizer, organ, and expertly
programmed drum pattern cuts into one wonderful unforgettable mind-expanding adventure. Can’t miss out on
this one. It helps you see, imagine, create, wonder, hope, and understand. They say listening to
classical music makes you smarter, well listening to Bill Cornish makes you wonder.
Influences range from jazz, to middle eastern sounds, to world music, with a tinge of rock influence and
sexy latin groove, all layered and structured in a way that makes the most sense to those who have a
tendency towards the non-sensical.
Standout tracks include "Whirlwind", a track that takes off from the beginning with the tribal
sounds of bongo that unconventionally, yet effectively, thrust into a wailing blues-style electric guitar
solo over Cornish’s version of the sultry sounds of latin salsa. Another is "The Last Frontier",
melding Eastern sounds with a hip-shaking bongo good time.
In this Deep Forest style, epic film soundtrack mesh of aural bliss, Bill Cornish provides the perfect
accompaniment to a couple o’ caps and a soothing psychedelic journey into the inner workings of your
soul…the deepest depths of your desires…I’ll shut up now!
