Press Reviews "Michael St. John's lush storyscapes make you a stranger in paradise. Ultra-dramatic synth New Age with Celtic and Eastern elements..." - listen.com. Featured artist on riffage.com... "Hopeful chord progressions ascend and descend in Michael St. John's compositions as a musical reflection of life's journeys. Lush and full of nostalgic sighs for the innocent, these tracks are soothing in their instrumental evocations of the wonder of youth."
