When last I spoke of Mr. Stearns, I believe I claimed something to the effect of "he fell off" after making one decent lp. Well, thankfully this claim brought about a reminder that I needed to revisit this, his second lp. While I'm not sure I agree that it "steps all over" Ancient Leaves, I would say that it is at least equally good – and, without reservation, recommend it to fans of droning analog-synth new age. Another fantastic cover illustration on this one as well.

Check-out the DVD “Baraka” and Michael’s contribution to the musical score. Made in 1992, it’s pure gold . . .
c’mon now, we all know that Sustaining Cylinders is by far the best MS album…..
No, this is by far his best.
I’ve been waiting years for this to be picked up & released on CD (at a reasonable rate)…no luck so far… *sigh*
Damn.
