A worthy successor to his debut recording "Ancient Dreams".  Patrick maintains the same aesthetic here. Dark Beauty prevails but the pieces differ from the last recording. "Rainmaker" opens with a strong almost tribal pulse and a sense of drama that is almost cinematic.  "Cape Perpetual" and "Dimension D" convey the same kind of vistas that pieces like "At First Light" and "Beauty in the Darkness" convey but diffrently.  There is a pulse and an usual use of space in these two pieces which are two highpoints in this recording.  This is like an impressionist painting in vermillions, blues, purples and other exotic shades successfully evoking the emotions in a way much different than the more conventional recordings do.  Patrick's use of keyboards, synthesizers and bass is warmer and more musical than a great many of his dark ambient contemporaries.  A very human approach, no automation here. There is a soul here.
