This CD is filled with sensations of space travel. Fred Becker's gentle, pulsating music has a slow-motion, zero-gravity feel to it, beginning with the quiet ascension of the opening and title track and through the nine-minute "Star Canopy", as one drifts out to the galaxies, and then on to the seven shorter pieces which lead to the heart of Inner, Stellar, the 27-minute opus, "Breakthroughs".
Here Becker unwinds and twists the sounds ever so gradually through a kaleidoscope of space music motifs, using a variety of synthesizers to achieve the desired effect. This was the succesful debut by Fred Becker with his way of playing space-ambient at its best. He has some far away sequencing in his spacious titles with a lot of reverb and heavenly melodies which never get to direct.
