fans of James Johnson's work will no doubt be interested in the re-release of his "Linger" disc. recorded during a visit to Toronto in August 2000, "Linger" was originally released as a DAM CD through mp3.com featuring five live recordings from James, each creating a moment in time, a place in space. now the disc has been re-issued in a remastered and uncompressed version that allows you to fully experience the music the way it was meant to be heard. you can't help but feel wrapped up in it, transported to another environment, another place where the earth moves at a slower speed, and we all have time to pay attention to the beauty that surrounds us.

the disc opens with the title track, where a chorus of bells plays overtop the sound of a summer rainstorm. a sense of cleansing, of new beginnings permeates this track, leaving the listener with the feeling that you've been prepared for a journey. the second track "Twilight Impressions" carries on with that same sense of travel. recorded as a collaboration between James, Scott M2 and Jamie Todd of dreamSTATE, and Wally Jericho, "Twilight Impressions" is a masterful work of ambience, offering a travelogue of images for the listener to visit. the album's fourth track, "Siren Song" follows a more traditional melodic route, slightly reminiscent of the later works of David Sylvian, evoking images of distant lands and faraway places. the last song on the album, "Frequency Shift", brings our journey to an end, slowing time to an even greater degree, and leaving us to appreciate where we've been.

with "Linger" James has created a stunningly beautiful environment to discover. after listening to this disc, i can't shake the feeling that i've gone to new places, seen new sites. i love a disc that can make me feel that way.
