'Secret Recesses of the Heart' is an outstanding piece, opening with an instantly memorable motif, vocal effects and orchestral climaxes but this is carefully juxtaposed with more subdued piano interludes and sequencing. The use of light and shade and subtle sense of dynamics are exceptional. 'Crystal (Dreams of Sea-Beams)' begins with yet another superbly crafted melody, gentle harp effects and piano before the orchestral treatments, but the innate and fragile beauty of the music is maintained to the end. 'Subliminal Sensuality' is yet another gem beginning with sequencers travelling between channels and a more tranquil atmosphere before a distinctly muscular rhythm kicks in and Bekki adds layers of sequencing and synth soloing. Possibly my favourite track but there is some real competition. The title cut is another highly emotive piece, which reminded me a little of Jan Hammer at his best, before Bekki's orchestral leads provide a perfect counterpoint to the sequencing. 'Under the Same Sky' changes the tempo with solo piano eventually joined by strings in perfect harmony.

A thunder clap heralds 'Torn' but instantly proceeds into subdued melancholia but with a strong rhythmic backbone to accompany the well crafted melodies, orchestration and piano. 'Tears are Eternal' is an intensely romantic, quasi-classical piece consisting of piano and strings providing a prelude to 'From the Ashes' which adds an air of defiance and optimism with an intensely emotional orchestral motif. The sequencing and detail make this another highlight. Finally, 'Fading' provides a gentle conclusion, the calm after the storm, piano and strings combining to create a restful and satisfying end to a memorable album.

Reading the sleevenotes only confirms which is obvious upon listening to the music, that the recording of 'Innersense' was a deeply personal and purgative experience for the composer. It has been a refreshing experience and a privilege to hear such inspired and emotionally charged electronic music. It is easily Bekki's finest achievement so far and I hope that even you retroheads out there give this a listen too. Innersense is an instant classic." (Steve Roberts, SMD, UK.)
