Chris Bay, "Abstract & Reality"
First, I was attracted to the gorgeously striking album cover . . . . And of course, since I love New Age music, I had to listen. . . then the very first notes soothed my soul and kept me listening. . . . the flowing notes and subtle sounds maintained the mood throughout the first two tracks and would be wonderful music for the spa, meditation or stress healing . . . I found it wonderful to relax to . . .
and then came . . .. "Metal Fusion" a bit of a jolt causing me to come out of my daydream and become a little more involved with this chill-ish trance . . . finding the positive energy to move and dance . . . "Rain" was probably my favorite . . . peaceful with intrusive percussion . . . like, well . . . rain . . . it has that scent that engulfs the atmosphere, an incense of calm . . .
Overall, there were enough interesting sounds added to these pieces that I would often look up, from what I was doing to think about the music, and what it was saying to me. It wasn't just spa music . . . but something a little deeper, something to entrancing to this listener . . . and enticed me into the world of the musician . . .

Beautiful album cover and enticing title .. ..
