In Ixlandia, John Serrie creates a soothing, contemplative atmosphere. The title track starts the cd off with a mellow, romantic, cool jazz feel. Although primarily electronically produced, the first part of the album has a decidedly acoustic feel, especially the tracks featuring the saxophone and guitar of Steven Charles and Chris Kenny, respectively.
The later tracks change mood slightly, being less romantic and relying a little more on slowly pulsing waves of sound. It is one of these later tracks, "Starport Indra", that I found particularly appealing. Although not on the cutting edge of the genre, this album should find an enthusiastic following among fans of new age and contemporary instrumental based music.
