Beautiful aqueous ambient music from prolific Portland artist Opaline. Chill and tranquil. For fans of Dolphins into the Future, H. Takahashi, Visible Cloaks, Panabrite, Emeralds, and labelmates on Constellation Tatsu (Rhucle, Les Halles, etc.)

All tracks instrumental and FCC Clean. Start with 2, 8, 10

(1.) (3:50) Slow-moving intro, gradually reaching cruising altitude (*2.) (5:48) Spiraling with vivid patterns (3.) (6:18) Icy and futuristic (4.) (3:18) Busy and aqueous, with rapid bubbly synth (5.) (4:04) Slow and serene. Gradually builds in luminosity (6.) (3:21) Tranquil and minimal (7.) (4:50) Quick galloping arpeggios and blurry effects (*8.) (3:56) Floating and relaxing. Smooth synth and gentle chimes. Aptly titled “Inside Sky” (9.) (3:43) Sci-fi noir. Ominous, echoey, cavernous (*10.) (4:38) Mysterious and radiant. Great use of suspense
