USスペース・ミュージックの開拓者の一人であり、現在まで数多くの映像用音楽を手掛けるサウンド・デザイナーMichael Stearns（マイケル・スターンズ）。「M'ocean」（my ocean/emotion）は79年から82年にかけて行われたライブ音源を素材とした作品「Light Play」（Continuum Montage, 1983年）を再編集した第6作。ニューエイジ・シーンの中でも良質なエレクトロニック作品を多く残しているSonic Atmospheresより。
M'Ocean is another Earth Turtle Music reissue by Michael Stearns. He released it first as Light Play on cassette on the Continuum Montage label in 1983. In 1984, Sonic Atmospheres released it on cassette and CD. Tracks two through six were originally written for live performances. Stearns composed and performed track one -- "Sirens" -- on an Oberheim OB8 synthesizer, one of the first digitally controlled analog synths. He created the piece as soon as he set up the synth. Track seven -- "Walking Song" -- is a short Igor Stravinsky piece that Stearns transcribed for the synthesizer. The music is vintage and classic Stearns. The soundscapes are bright and elegant as only he creates. The rhythms are subtle, even transparent. The atmospheres are huge, warm, and inviting. This is music for wandering in the heart, mind, and soul. Stearns is in a league of his own. There are few -- if any -- discs comparable to this one. It is essential. ~ Jim Brenholts, AllMusic
