Ascension opens with Golden Sunrise, a brief anthem to the dawning of a new day, with it’s clear message of hope and optimism.

The singing of a lone bird adds to the dignified atmosphere, and one is left with a palpable feeling of peace and contentment.
In contrast to the optimism of the previous track, The Calling is a gentle yet melancholy ballad of wistful emotions. In some ways it feels as if Clifford is looking back on a life of memories – all the more surprising for the fact that he was only 16 years old when he write this piece of music. Flute and electric piano are joined by gossamer like strings, weaving a tale of sublime sentiment.
A gentle harp-like guitar opens Mr Elemental, which holds a dewy like innocence in it’s youthful heart. Almost as if it were a lullaby, the music soothes and becalms like a swaddled child, mellow and pure of heart in it’s mood and intent. Deeply relaxing and reassuring, it is the music of comfort, safety and home.
