edu bg This is one of my all-time-favourite albums (ok, this is the comment of the year...). It's been the soundtrack for many moments of my life, since I first discover this album (during some long, long nights of studying...). Beauty in it's purest form. 'Map of the warm night' always catch me off-guard... Favorite track: Map of the Warm Night.

about

"Tim Story's Shadowplay is a very mature and sophisticated opus, building on two decades of research and development."
-Tom Schulte (All Music Guide)

"Tim Story is one of those artists who exists in a natural state of repose, whose music is born from a point that is deep and still, gaining resonance and contour as it rises from the bottom of the well. Story has defined ambient chamber music since the early '80s, and Shadowplay continues down that path with music that hovers at the borders of darkness and joy. Story extends his keyboard-based palette with oboe and cello, giving his compositions an even warmer hue. What sets him apart from the likes of Kevin Kendle and Michael Hoppé is Story's resistance toward neoclassical nostalgia. With Story, there's always a sense that something ominous could be lurking around the corner, like a shark hanging at the edge of an intoxicating coral reef. That element of foreboding is particularly apparent on "Intemperate," as Dieter Moebius from the quirky German band Cluster adds subtle abstracted electronics. Like most Story albums, Shadowplay is as haunting as that first moment when one awakens from a dream--and just as elusive."
- John Diliberto

It starts out a little trippy but settles into a relaxing groove and then stays there for a satisfyingly long time; I appreciate the variety here, although it makes it difficult to settle on a single favorite track. Scott

Excellent work by Jeff, as always. I've never stopped coming back to 'The Same Stars' for a listen when I'm in need of a bit of serenity and inspiration. Superb. cosmicicecube
