James Johnson's Entering Twilight is 66 minutes and 32 seconds of slowly evolving sonic magic. This is a single long-running composition meant for continuous playback, and like the finest ambient recordings, it's intended for low volume listening. Entering Twilight fades in ever so softly, easing the listener into a dark and tranquil soundscape with pleasantly sonorous timbres and lush synthesizer sound pads that evoke a dream state. With a clock time of 66 minutes, Entering Twilight has plenty of time to engulf the listener in a slowly evolving work of sonic mastery, taking the listener in and gently releasing them to the ether. Johnson has the wonderful gift of being able to fully utilize silence compositionally in his works, second only to maybe Claude Debussy or Gustav Mahler. Johnson has created a magnificent record that meanders about the listener's psyche. The record gets the highest accolades, as it's a fine work and representative of the best of Johnson's catalog. ~ Matt Borghi, Rovi
