Creative. Absorbing. Totally neoteric.

Phantom Whistler is one part medicine man and two parts adventurer, an odd stick, a high noon drifter folding music into wistful states of consciousness; lawmakers paint him as outright dangerous, a counter-culture iconoclast with a dicey reputation/taste for treasure.

Just You & Me is dipping in sex and funk, the dulcet tones of Barry White rides the dirtiest rhythm this side of Texas. Fat, hedonistic and incredibly dangerous, this is tantalising tech house.

The synchronicity of life is explored in ‘Faith, Hope & Charity’, a delightful dancefloor number musing over the magic of the number three.

On ‘A Distant Oasis’, a babbling stream and contemplative whistle set the scene for the lonely cello of Australian cellist Wilma - all adding to an atmosphere filled with Northern Exposure energy.

We're almost nearing the end, and if this is a Hero's Journey,' Light Reading 2020' might be its apogee. Featuring the spoken word of fellow Australian guru Heath Myers, it's a doctrine filled with provocative theories, spiritual tenets and generational teachings that glide along a mesmerising 4/4 rhythm — all enhanced by a totally entrancing melody shimmering like the stars it refers to.
