review		 Charles Thaxton is a progressive rock oriented keyboardist who on "Worlds Without End" layers analog and digital keyboards and Mellotron in a series of floating, instrumental pieces in a typical American tradition. "Rebirth" is reminiscent of Larry Fast's Synergy albums with floating strings over a churning analog sequence, while "Earth Orbit" is like a sequencer-based early piece from Kevin Braheny of from Steve Roach in his pre-dark ambient days. "Aurora" and "Nebula" are slow and sweeping, while the longish title track (around twelve minutes) shows off the full variety of sounds from Char-El's Wavestation and Kawai K5 digital synths, Kawai K3 and MiniMoog analogs and E-Mu Emax sampler. The album's longest track at fourteen minutes, "The Ascending Light" is softer and more meditationally oriented, while the closing "Heart Light" has more abstract sounds and an anthemic feel. "Worlds Without End" is pretty successful fusion between American-style electronics, new age, and space music, with few obvious or clichéd sounds and a pleasingly wide variety of textures.
