Wonderful.......2005-01-09

This was the first CD by David Arkenstone I bought and it's wonderful. Very light and relaxing, I really enjoyed the entire CD.

enchanting!.......2003-02-21

This music is perfect for listening to when I'm cooking, sitting around or being with the rest of my family. My six year old daughter loves it too. One song, "Safe Passage", makes me dream of seeing my daughter and my son on horseback, the wind in their hair, and the sun in their eyes, cantering across a wide plain towards an unknown but good destination. The rest of the songs are catchy, danceable and hummable; some don't leave my head for a while. My husband made fun of it at first but he came around and now he likes it too. This is worth buying for a beautiful music collection.

Not David's best..........2001-10-21

A cluster of world music cliches'; a disappointing outing from the ususally reliable Arkenstone. The album feaures none of the grand, sweeping orchestrations or pop nuances that marked his best efforts; instead, we are given song after song of bland, meandering sameness, more in keeping with meditiation/contemplation music than anything else. Fans of that kind of music may find this interesting; it would probably be good as ambient background or relaxation help. Only the last track, "Into the dreamtime," features anything resembling what fans have come to expect from David--and the best part of the song comes in the last two minutes! I was very, very disappointed with this album; but David redeemed himself with his next effort, "Caravan of Light."

Not being a musicologist, I enjoyed it!.......2001-09-07

For me, this is a good listening album, one that a person can sit back in a favorite chair, close his (or her) eyes, and enjoy. "Desert Crossing" was especially evocative, but I didn't find one less than enjoyable. Each one, except for the finale, succeeded in creating images of the locale in my mind. "Dreamtime" though is strictly meditative, reflective. Musicologists undoubtedly are justified in picking at the technicalities. But for true enjoyment, I recommend it.

GENIUS.......2000-07-24

Such majesty, such skill. Badness. Arkenstone is a pure genius. Commercial predator. New Age music at its best. Worst. This man deserves a medal. Hole in head. I have heard much of his music and find it relaxing and soothing. To the point of insanity. Buy this CD. If you are devoid of sense.
