British-born, Atlanta-based producer Nick Newman is back to Armadillo Records with his second release on this avant-garde Malta-based label. This four-track material is ideal for deep relaxation, meditation, or even as a potential soundtrack for a documentary about marine life.

The first track, "Toward Peace," is a conceptual fusion of various elements, including Musique Concrete, musical improvisation, futuristic sound effects, and electronic snippets. It embraces the minimalist approach of a Buddhist monk, where every component, from the soothing waves to the low-end frequencies, holds significant importance.

The second track, "Enlightened Man," continues the coherent audio journey with a more psychedelic twist. The piece features vocal narration that delves into the human experience on the path to enlightenment, occasionally taking the spotlight alongside offbeat percussions.

While contemporary music disregards the dynamic range, "Searching Within" takes a different direction. Its slow crescendos and decrescendos invite self-reflection and serve as the artistic centerpiece of this 24-minute release. This eclectic piece is particularly suited for practices centered around solar healing during sunrise or sunset.

Closing the album is a stripped-down version of "Enlightened Man," where Newman skillfully demonstrates that greatness can be achieved through a minimalist approach to emotionally charged sounds, underscoring the idea that less can be more.
