The title track 'There Shall Be Light' is a sumptuous, flowing piece of stylish EM which is totally captivating. Panoramic scenes of total beauty are conjured up, and the form continues right into the second piece 'Heaven' which demonstrates skilful use of sweeps, pads and themes. The GLJ references start to appear with 'The Seas' which picks out a simple sequence and layered theme with such delicacy that it is a delight. 'The Plants' is again simplicity personified, yet is has a sophistication which outstrips many modern releases. 'The Cosmos' again scores no points for the title, but musically it is sonic vista which hits all the right buttons. 'The Planets' builds upon a wave of sequences and turns out to be a blistering track with dramatic rhythmics backing a top notch lead motif. This album really has it all! 'The Animals' is another sequence/synth delight with piano detail, and 'The Man' kicks in with more quality riffs and beguiling synth sounds. We're back to vista valley with the final track 'The Completion' as vast symphonic and choral sounds stalk the room before sequences break free again.
