The beginning of “Transcendental Medication” sounds like we’re peeking into the end of a movie with the final credits rolling. But it reprises with a sound almost like white noise but with a touch of melody that stretches into an infinite horizon, a sonic canvass upon which the drawn out pedal steel notes cast tones that enter that sonic stream in parallel. Like a previous track we reviewed for this site, “Lake of Dreams,” this song recalls Brian Eno’s “Deep Blue Day” from the 1983 album Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks for which Daniel Lanois contributed his own iconic lap steel work that unified a grounded Americana quality with cosmic ambient music to transport the mind to tranquil spaces free of the rat race of regular human life. The elegance and subtlety of the performance leaves no edges yet draws you in with a deep sense of peace with which you want to connect.
