This is much more a follow-on from the "Citrine Lake" release rather than the later "Sapphire Mountain" one. Thus I much prefer it to climbing the higher octave mountain. I have a couple of reservations, one subjective and one objective, but neither relate to the quality of the actual music itself. This simply enfolds you in a warm wrap and allows your mind to wander as you are lifted above mere worldly woes and troubles. Wonderfully sensitive and mesmerising sounds which smooth you to the inner core. Quite simply, a truly aural treat. I don't like the title, how slow ethereal music like this can relate to a hot, fly-infested, jungle swamp totally defeats me. Also, I am disappointed at the low quality bitrate of this release. Why is it lower than the WMRI normal?. Music this slow and quiet needs a decent quality of output and this level is below par. I haven't deducted anything from my rating as this is based on the music alone but I am still disappointed at the poorer quality. Please do your music justice and let it be heard as good as it can be. As always, thanks for sharing.

An excellent, minimal landscape of sound. That is comforting, enjoyable, relaxing and so peaceful. That you could simply fall asleep to it..

I can understand the reason to call this album (and 42 minute track) "Chrysolite Swamp." A swamp is actually quite a beautiful place, an abundance of wildlife and the soup of origins . . . Its fascinating and besides . . . there are frogs. My neighborhood has reclaimed some acres of wetlands and I go there to get my nature fix . . . the insects humming, the birds, the occasional plop of something in the water . .. the tiny eyes peering at me from every conceivable cover . . . it is full of peacefulness, life and vulnerability. And chrysolite itself is a greenish colored gem, gently glowing with a life of its own. The colors of the swamp. And yes, the music reminded me of all that . . . and more . . . it was gentle and flowing and ambient . . . entirely created to cause deep relaxation and meditation and a sense of peace and well-being . . . the music performed as well as ever anything done by WMRI. It was very, very good.

Ethereal, vaporous sounds, peaceful and relaxing music - in a word, the gate to another world. Very good ambient/experimental music :)

Une lente et douce mélopée , aérienne, éthérée, d'une grande pureté qui flotte dans l'air et qui vous envahit,vous transporte très haut,à l'air libre, vers les plus hauts sommets, loin de toute cette pollution qui asphyxie et empoisonne notre planète.

I love it. it is only one track and there are no complaints. Beautiful music. Thank you for sharing this. Keep up the good work.
