The third album by solo pianist Theo Bishop adds some fairly subtle electronics (both purely atmospheric, and on tracks like "Tall Ships" and the really quite lovely "Water Dance," mimicking the sound of acoustic instruments) to his sound, simultaneously enriching his tonal palette but also taking him several steps closer to generic new age pabulum. However, Bishop's take on solo instrumental music doesn't skimp on the melodic content, which means that most of these 12 tracks, despite the fairly anonymous arrangements, are more memorable than most of what's produced in this genre.
