The Long Now, by Ian Crawford

The Long Now

by Ian Crawford

supported by

Mel The Long Now is a balm for the spirit. It is a gentle journey inward through the infinite, and at times mysterious, depths of one's soul. And as "Lume" and "Orison of Old Light" prove, there is no hurry to get anywhere in particular. To take one's time and feel both the depth and simplicity of the present moment is a gift, and this album reminded me of that. It begs you to take a deep breath and let go, and rewards you with an immense feeling of peace and serenity by the end. Simply beautiful. Favorite track: Lume.
