Lonely Planet Vol-2.......2006-06-26

Amazing music. SO beautiful & so different than anything you'll hear on US radio. Captures the moods of the countries visited.
The original track 'Windpower' upon which the main title themes are based gives a great workout to my 12" subwoofer! Crank 'em up! Way-way up! Hope your subwoofer can take it!! You wont be disappointed. More great stuff is also on Vol-1!

Great music!!.......2002-11-07

Goes along with the great TV series of the same name (now somehow related to the "Globe Trekker" TV series). Great music from around the world. Some surreal; some just plain cool sounding.

The sounds of Lonely Planet forever captured!.......2001-11-11

I stumbled across this CD quite by accident at my local library one day. I have been a fan of the show for a while, and I always thought the music interesting, but had -never- thought there was a soundtrack to it! (Two actually!) I borrowed it, and I couldn't stop listening. It played (and still does, since I now have a copy) all the time. A very diverse mix of world sounds and styles, this really is a wonderful collection. It brings to mind the landscapes and grand vistas so often seen in the series. Anyone who loves watching Ian and Justine travel the globe needs this CD (and volume one, for that matter)! Even if you haven't seen the show, beg, steal or borrow this CD now! It is that good!

Once again, a masterpiece!.......2001-09-06

These recordings are so good that I can't believe they are not more well known. The musicians on the lonely planet, V1. and V2 shine in comparison to other well known `world' musicians (like Deep Forest, B-Tribe and Enigma). Highly recommended to buy both V1 and V2, four CDs for less than 40 US dollars. I can't wait to get on an airplane and listen to this awesome CD set! Long live Lonely Planet!

I think I like Volume #2 better than Volume #1.......2001-07-25

This double CD continues in the tradition Lonely Planet Volume #1. It is compilation of world folk music + electronic orchestration culled from the popular television series. But whereas one of the CDs in Lonely Planet Volume #1 was devoted entirely to ambient versions of the television show music, Lonely Planet Volume #2 is completely focused on the world folk (and not ambient) side of the show's music. (However, Volume #2 is still heavily orchestrated with electronic instruments.) After repeated listenings to both Volume #1 and Volume #2, I have decided that I like the music on this CD better. The music on Volume #2 seems to contain more depth and complexity than that on Volume #1. In addition, Volume #2 evokes a greater feeling of satisfaction when I listen to it. There is simply MORE (more cultural variety, more diverse sounds)on this CD than the music on Volume #1. With the exception of the incredibly annoying "Miao Song", this CD takes the cake for the Lonely Planet television series.
