James Johnson "Odyssey"
Shimmering, liminal.

...peaceful, melancholic, beautiful, foreboding, shimmering, serene, even somewhat chaotic and frenetic... Odyssey encompasses all of Johnson's motifs: echoed piano, beautiful synth strings that are never too lush or too ethereal but still have a spiritual glow to them, ambient textures that color a melody or drone with a variety of evocations, somber washes of synthesizers and sampled string instruments that strike deep to unearth forgotten places and remembered people.

Shimmering and luminous in tone, "Odyssey" by James Johnson is a stunning journey through time and space sure to appeal to fans of minimalist ambience. Built around a series of constantly growing undulating themes, this hour long piece shifts and moves in an organic fashion, wrapping itself around the listener, enveloping them in a womb-like serenity. The ebb and flow of sweeping elegance, sparse piano, waves of sound rising to the front of your perception all combine to create a stunning listening experience.

A wonderful work well suited for drifting and letting the mind wander, "Odyssey" is an excellent example of the beauty of absence, and further proof of James Johnson's mastery of the ambient genre.
