The actual CD pleases the listener with a great variety in the compilation of the tracks. You find very rhythmic, lively tracks "letting the sunshine through" and producing southern landscapes before your inner eye. On the other hand tracks nearly called meditative will give you the impression of wideness - let yourself be - Kissed by space.
