Press Reviews "...he is light-years ahead of most adult contemporary synthesists in his sophisticated use of texture and sound." -- Linda Kohanov, ALL-MUSIC GUIDE "Spacious, warm release paints a textured landscape that is by turns soothing...and jaunty. Programmers should find a depth here that exceeds most other releases of the same genre." -- NEW AGE PICKS, BILLBOARD MAGAZINE "Harriss brings a keen sense of melody and form to his compositions." -- Steve Feinstein, KKSF RADIO
