David Davis Every track on this album is awesome. Every album these two guys do together is epic. I am taken away in bliss and feel like I'm traveling somewhere, beyond space and time. Favorite track: The Crossing.

Berkdrums The other reviews here are spot on if you ask me.. I really love the albums David and Jon have released so far and I’m really hoping for more of this in the future! Indeed each and every track is just amazing... A culmination of all things ambient mixed together by two hugely talented artists! This is as immersive as it is majestic, dee(eeee)p and nostalgic in melodies...(hits my soul each and every time..) All the things that made me dig deeper and deeper into ambient-world after I heard this album for the first time.. So glad it finally made its way onto Bandcamp! Strongly recommended.. no I mean: a must-have!!

ECHOES Radio CD of the month

---------

Following the release of their first collaboration, Treasure, David Helpling and Jon Jenkins spent the next two years in the depths of deep exile studio, carefully crafting The Crossing. With this second collaboration, Helpling and Jenkins embark on a fresh sonic expedition – a cinematic, powerful and deeply melodic triumph that lifts their music to new heights.

The Crossing is a project which ignores current trends in ambient and electronic music, and Helpling and Jenkins are fearless in their pursuit of the lush and monumental sound that dominates their artistic vision. All the essentials for an epic journey are here: compelling and expansive multi-layered drum elements contrasted by alluring yet elusive textures, strong melodies appearing over powerful percussion, synths and guitars, all of which give way to vast spaces of deep and mystifying ambience. From grand melodic vistas to enveloping sonic clouds of textural mystery, The Crossing leads the listener to the ends of the earth…and beyond.
