Released on the independent label EverSound, this is John's third effort since 1998 but clearly his best to date. His prior efforts were The Beckoning and The Other Shore and both were impressive. But they also reflect a musician that is progressing in his compositional prowess. The most impressive factor of the latest release is the artist's unwillingness to pigeonhole himself. While the album has a very smooth finish to it via its production and compositional qualities, Adorney keeps it very interesting by flirting with several genres. Add the occasional limited vocals and chants from Daya Rawat reminiscent of Enya's style and you have an album that is so much more than just memorable.

Those of you that are purist when it comes to instrumental albums may want to adventure out and give this album an opportunity as Daya is only prominent on "A Butterfly In The Well" and the title track. Otherwise, her vocals are used more for effect and are most successful on Adorney's very unforgettable upbeat-opening track "Always". Equally as strong is the optimistic "In Bloom" that includes an infectious chord progression mixed with a swirl of keyboard arrangements mixed in with some very mild vocalization..

Adorney has presented us with his best work to date and this ranks as one of the better releases of 2004. While Adorney may be waiting for the moon, much like the subject matter in the album title, the music is always accessible yet at the same time mysterious.... :) ~ Michael Debbage
