Lagoon was German ambient composer Nik Tyndall's first (and only) release on the Hearts of Space label in 1990. Tyndall was originally a designer of sound units and amplifiers in the 1970s, and soon after delved into composing for electronic instruments. He released several ambient albums on the German label Sky during the 1980's. Like Tyndall's other works, Lagoon is rich with layers of organic sound that evoke water, windchimes, gongs, and gamelan to create the sensation of a floating paradise. The seven tracks flow smoothly into one another, creating a soothing tropical paradise.
