As usual, some of the song titles -- namely "Crystal Whisper," "Dance of the Wind," and "Stepping on Shadows" -- indicate the album's soothing new-age disposition.

    Spacious and out there. Like Hardcastle 6 this album is a bit more varied much of later Hardcastle solo outings. Nice silky lounge like touches but keeping with his signature sound.
