With his latest work, the artist once again presents a first-class listening experience. Spherical sounds mix perfectly with symphonic elements, with epic chord progressions on the piano the ‘Lord of Sounds’ draws vast landscapes, colored by acoustic and electric guitar parts typical of his style.

Especially in the title track ‘A Light from Afar’ you can clearly feel his roots as one of the pioneers of electronic/acoustic music of the eighties. ‘Boundless Horizon’ seems like a homage to Vangelis, the grand master of electronic music.
