'Eyes To The Height' is the latest Ambient album from James Murray. Released on the label Ultimae Records; a record label synonymous with quality Ambient.
In my humble opinion it is a must to listen to the complete album in one go, since it feels like the narration of a tale or story. The album is a journey, atmospheric and relaxing with a hint of mystery. I was always engaged with the music through out the whole album. Contains some complex and subtle sounds which I found to be best enjoyed with good headphones. My favorite moments along the ten track album were Ghostwalking and the closing track Copestone.

A very relaxing and enjoyable album. I highly recommend it. I rate the music as 9/10.
The artwork for this release is beautiful, gives a sense of mystery and helps to engage the listener with the music. The CD contained a booklet with stunning photography of woods, trees and nature. I rate the artwork as 10/10.
The CD version is cased in a digicase, which is good, although I prefer jewel cases because they are more rubust. The new CD case also come sealed in cellophane plastic for added protection against dirt and scratches. I rate the packaging as 9/10.
