Some of the most beautiful music I've heard in my life.......2005-09-03

I feel almost ashamed that I haven't heard the spirit-cleansing, wonderful music of Checkfield sooner! This being my first album, I am extremely pleased with their culmination of ten years of brilliance in sixteen songs. I hear from others about an American Gramaphone-type release that wasn't included. I've never heard of it before, but I can imagine it is truly spectacular, given Reflections on a Decade. I find it sad that, being a high school student, most of my fellow teenagers don't listen to or appreciate this kind of unrepressible beauty. Even if you claim not to enjoy "new age-type" music, this is truly a masterpiece! Personally, my favorite songs are "Distant Thunder", "Going Home", "The Good Brown Earth", and "GreySky", though there is not a bad song to be found on this album. A must-have!

Question about the song Washington DC.......2003-11-06

Does the song 'Washington DC' have words? The snippet here seems to be an instrumental. Seems like a great CD.

A Great Retrospective!!.......2003-02-16

Checkfield was one of my favorite New Age groups of the early 90's. However, I was disappointed that two of my favorite songs are not on this CD. "And She Cries" from the album "A View From the Edge" and "Traveling" from the "Wind, Water & Stone" album, thus the 4 star rating. It's still a great opportunity for those not familiar with the duo to get aquainted with them. Now, if they can only get their previous albums re-released!!

a swatch of america...........2001-11-08

I wish they would release the classic four American Gramophone CD's.....and Spirit (John Archer, are you listening)but this ain't a bad snapshot.

Surprisingly, I never get tired of listening to this tremendous anthology. The gem in the bunch is "A View From The Edge", and the cuts that are NOT on the anthology are even better.

But this is a must since it is available. I hope John Archer, you wonderful musician you, can find a way to get "the fabulous five" CD's out in original form.

Checkfield Reinvents the word "Beautiful".......2000-07-10

I am a great fan of Checkfield. I have been searching for their previous albums since 1991. Since they are out of print, I have been disappointed. Reflections On a Decade gives me some of what I miss. First Flight is one of my all time favorite songs, and Checkfield is the only group I know of that can do such wonderful things with their instruments. Their vocals are wonderful also. I hope to one day see the previous albums back in print. I will buy them as soon as they are released.
