Mucklow tries to paint pictures in the listener's mind with his guitar as his brush and the CD as his canvas. He gives a little "behind the songs" information for each song, which I didn't look at until after I had heard the entire CD for the first time. Then, I had to agree with almost every "behind the songs" scene that was painted in my mind.

Mucklow states that the word "phosphor" means "to bring light', and his song "Phosphor" does just that - allow the listener to visualize a happy, bright time. "Mysterium" speaks that life is a mystery, and the picking style is one that is dark and ominous. "Released" was written after the passing of a friend of Mucklow's. This song brought out both feelings of sadness and joy - sadness that the friend was gone, but joy that the friend was in a better place (which reflects Mucklow's faith in Christ). "Balm" is a representation of this faith; it gives the listener different textures of picking to represent the different faces of Christ. Mucklow says that "Waterflow" "sounded like water in a stream," and I can't deny that I thought of water when I heard the song.

This CD is a lovely guitar instrumental, and I highly recommend it if you are fans of great acoustic guitar.
