This is a particularly light and reflective work, comprised of two 30 minutes tracks, appropriately
entitled "Moving " and "Spaces." The long, flowing nature of the music may draw comparisons
to Steve Roach's "The Dream Circle"and similar lenghty ambient space journeys, but as usual,
Carty retains his own musical signature of positive, bright space music. The shimmering, almost
effusive quality of "Moving"is perfect for relaxation and meditation. The electronic flow and percolate
luxuriously across the expanse of sound and space. It becomes brighter, more lush as it develops,
with subtle layers building on each other. This is exceptional drifting space music. "Spaces" is just
as good. Rather than being a single musical idea that flows seamlessly together. A theme emerges,
plays itself out for just a few minutes, then drops off. A new musical idea comes forward,
and the pattern repeats itself. Sometimes bright electronics, sometimes soft water and choirs,
the ebbs and flows are perfectly placed. Though "Spaces" is structured a bit differently than
"Moving," the mood is very similar thoughout both tracks. Combined, they form an hour of blissful
space music.
