just wonderful.......2006-11-07

I bought this album on cassette nearly 19 years ago (ouch!). I was in college, and at times needed music to calm me down at stressful times. Then, when I graduated and worked the night shift, I lived across the street from a huge open field where people liked to fly their inexpensive (loud) remote control airplanes. I played the tape to help cover up the noise while I slept during the day. Now, I have two toddlers who have trouble winding down in the evening. So, I dug out this cassette, and it works like a charm. Unfortunately, the cassette tape is finally giving out, and the music is a bit warped in places. I'm about to place an order for a CD of this album and retire the cassette. It has been the most useful album I have ever owned. What I love about it is that it is pure piano. No sneaking in of a flute or harp or birds chirping or some lady humming and singing. Just piano music... just wonderful!

"Pianoscapes - The Deluxe Edition" is a remastered version of the recording that launched Michael Jones' musical career back in 1984. "Pianoscapes" was originally released on Narada in 1985, but was edited to fit the time constraints of LPs and cassettes at the time. This remastered two-CD edition is the original 87-minute recording that Jones recorded in his home studio in one sitting, and released for friends and gift shops as a two-cassette package. At the time of the recording, Jones had no concept of audience expectations, so this is as pure and heartfelt as it gets. Jones has the reputation for being a master improviser at the piano, and the depth of his creativity knows no bounds. "Pianoscapes" is a true classic in the genre and belongs in every collection of contemporary piano music. Also included are previously unreleased recordings of "Echoes," "On the Road," and "Night Wind" from "Sunscapes" (1986), bringing the collection up to a playing time of more than 110 minutes. I was a little disappointed that the liner notes are so spare, since Narada has often released albums with extensive booklets that tell much about the artists and the music. That's a very small issue, though, as Michael Jones is a very established artist with an extensive website (www.pianoscapes.com). I highly recommend "Pianoscapes - The Deluxe Edition"! A beautiful and inspiring album!

500 Stars!! BUY THIS CD!! The most romantic music ever!!.......2003-10-22

I have ALL of Michael Jones CD's, and I can tell you Pianoscapes was the very first I ever heard (and bought) and I still believe it to be the very best. All of Michael's music is beautiful -- you will love all of his CD's. However, Pianoscapes has a definite edge in my book. Perhaps it is because my wife and I discovered it while on our honeymoon in New England during the Fall Foliage time with all the trees ablaze in a tapestry of colors. Romantic? You bet!

In short, if you like softly played romantic piano, then this CD is the standard by which all others must be judged. This CD is perfection.

Great Stuff.......2002-10-24

I believe that this is a must have for any fan of "New Age" piano music. The album was done in one cut in his own home and is overall truely amazing. His simple yet beautiful songs are a joy to listen to.
