A master of subtlety, and a great fan of music in general (as is evidenced by each piece shaping itself around a virtual tribute), Alex not only sites great influences, but great artists of our time.I tell all who tend to let the nature of sound whiz by a little too quickly to take a moment, and spend a few moments meditating on each track - just one track per day. I am confident that with this record people might advance their ability to listen, actually experience sensation from more angles than thought possible, and clearly see the relationship this music carries throughout the history of our kind. "The Contant Flame" is a light revealing consciousness, a hope for an exceedingly dark and horrific 'present', relevant to humans all over our surface.Experience a wonderful community of musicians, a consistently exciting and yet modest record label, and beautiful work in the studio (Peter Erskine supervises; the engineering is, at times, both bewildering and amazing).Peace, Love and Light to All..."
