Craig Padilla – The Light In The Shadow

Spotted Peccary - 2006

This 63-minute CD weaves it’s magic with soft ambient music that fluctuates between space type atmosphere music and pure mood. I always find this CD comforting to listen to and inspiring.

What’s most interesting is that it’s one continuous track. It’s actually an audio journey through the composition of Craig Padilla. There are moments of darkness and light that come in and out of the mix to keep things interesting. Even though the melodies repeat over the course of the running time, it builds up in a unique way that move towards a payoff of emotion.

What’s best about The Light In The Shadow is how it makes you feel. Calm and serene but it will not put you to sleep. You will not get bored, in fact it will probably motivate you in some way.

I’ve heard a few other albums from Craig Padilla, but I’d have to say this is his best so far.
