This Fonya album from 1998 envelops the listener in a spacious aura of instrumental delight.
What did the critics say?
"Suffice it to say that all the tracks are brilliant...starting many pieces slow, then building them to monumental proportions. BUY THIS CD! It is one of 97's best CDs." Gibralter Webzine (Ken Brown)
"...this is Chris' vision of space, realized on bass, guitar, and sequenced keys. As usual, Chris' bass work is exceptional, both in tone and ability." Music Uncovered (Louis Hesselt-van-Dinter)
"Fournier's sense of composition and arrangement improves with each new release, while that abiding sense of wonder - the hallmark of all good space epics - shines brightly through." Progression (John Collinge)
"If you're into space rock and instrumental prog, you really should discover Fonya." Acid Dragon
"The guitar/keyboard playing is a delightful experience, and guaranteed to please anyone who admires other soloists like Kitaro or Jean Michel Jarre." Audion (Peter Beaman)
