More of a jazz fusion vibe than on earlier record and the poppy hooks from Remarkably Human are also back. No vocals this time, that's a not a bad thing. Amazing how this guy can keep reinventing himself.

Child of Bliss is another great instrumental album by virtuoso guitarist Nick Johnston. Following two mediocre albums, he returns with a new escapade, mimicking the wonders of Remarkably Human. Anyone who is familiar with Johnston's work, he knows that he approaches his instrument rather differently from most guitar players and in essence, this is what makes him stand out. Rather than focusing on speedy guitar heroics, he is surfing so eloquently on the shores of progressive rock, blues and jazz in a melodic way with his lush chord progressions creating some memorable lead motifs. Nick plays all the guitar, keyboards and synthesizers on this new release but has recruited a number of guest musicians to add the extra touches: rEli Bishop (strings), Liam Mitro (sax, woodwinds) Mark Rynkun (bass) and the drum master Thomas Lang (drums). Recommendations: "Through the Golden Forest", "Child of Bliss", "Little Thorn", "Moonflower".r
