This album is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever listened to. It has a mixture of instrumental and lyrical songs and each one is perfection! They are calming and emotional, it takes us on a journey through space, across our oceans. Their music is just so wonderful. I use two of the the tracks as my alarms in the morning because they’re peaceful and won’t make me jump. It’s hard to pick favourites with so many songs but I think it would be South, Mercury, Pluto and West.
