5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!.......2005-10-31

one day, long ago, I was stuck in an airport. probably Chicago. spent a lot of time in the Chicago airport. board, I went into a shop that had music for sale, and they had headsets that you could listen to the music before you buy.


that is where I discovered "Cusco". I bought the CD "best of" and I never regretted it. it is way different than the kind of music I had always listened to. I never heard of them, and I have not listened to any of their other albums, which, no doubt are lovely. but, this one - it is special.

turn it up loud and let it engulf you. the instruments and sounds are magic. can't name my favorite track. love it all. it's an experience. I wouldn't play one song without the other that comes before it or after it, they flow into each other in a way that no other music can. when I listen to it, I know by heart, which song is coming next, and I anticipate with child-like excitement.


it's that good.

5 out of 5 stars Must Own CUSCO.......2005-08-07

This was my introduction to CUSCO, and what an introduction it was. It sent the message home that he was an amazing artist who could bang out track after track of mesmerizing and fantastic music. If you have no CUSCO in your collection, you are missing out. If you only have money for one CUSCO album, make it this one.

5 out of 5 stars Enchanting AND Relaxing.......2004-12-27

The album's song Flying Condor, is a ten out of ten. I just drift away when I here it and it's one of the most relaxing peices of music I've ever listened to. It would be the perfect thing to give as a gift for someone in need of relaxing music to calm down with or for driving in the car. The melody of this one particular song is so enchanting and really shows the quality of Cusco music. It's a must-have for any fan of Cusco!

5 out of 5 stars Consistently Outstanding.......2004-01-30

This CD's "Tupac Amaru" still receives heavy airplay on the local smooth jazz station. Cusco is unfairly overlooked and underappreciated, too bad their music does not fit the formats of most stations. Play it from start to finish, a great buy.

5 out of 5 stars Lively, Lovely, Delightful.......2004-01-17

I received this for Christmas and must tell you that when we played "Flying Condor" everyone from five to 65 stopped unwrapping presents and paid attention to the music. A very big Wow!

I generally don't like New Age music, but Cusco has high energy, interesting compositions, compelling instrumentation. I do agree with the Amazon reviewer that "Didjeridoo" is hokey and I eliminated it from my play list. Other than that, The Best of Cusco will transport you to the high Andes on a journey limited only by your own imagination. Enchanting!
