Terry Oldfield's love of nature, and in particular the sea, comes through on SACRED TOUCH, designed as a companion for massage practice. The music is very light and serene, featuring melodies that flow like the very waves that crash in each track's backdrop. Oldfield's flute playing, always the high point of one of his releases, entrances with his lush, but slow-paced harmonies, which wind through the backdrop with nimble ease. Synthesizer atmosphere helps to flesh out the tracks and provide a sense of spaciousness and measured calm. Besides the cyclic sound of ocean waves, the tracks also feature the ocean's majestic behemoths - the whales, singing on several tracks, as well as the distant sound of gulls. The pieces are sequenced so that the melodies come and go amidst a perpetual soundscape that persists for one solid hour, making it ideal for session use.
