"Ascensionism" is Richard Bone's tribute to the Ascension Schools and the beat poets. It is a smooth ride of soft rhythms and quirky instrumentation. The gentle soundscape is perfect for grooving, laying back and drifting into a coffeehouse. It is also excellent for meditating on a lazy day and, perhaps, contemplating the state of the mind or of the soul. Richard has always been in the "cool" zone. On this CD, he goes "cooler than cool" and remains in the "can do no wrong" arena. - Jim Brenholts [Tracks Across the Universe: A Chronology of Ambient and Electronica]
