Sleepyeyed Mangrvove Throatwobbler.......2006-12-11

Travelog compilation of listless new age synthorgan tracks sprinkled with indian chief warbling and birdie songs. The intent being to covey the ancient power of various sacred sites into your bedroom. The CD liner promices "eternal thread of spirit that weaves through mankind". The only spirit these dragging disconnected compositions evoke is the common spirit of sleep into your bedroom.... Oh don't forget the cricket chirps.

Not near as good as his others.......2006-05-09

One of the reviews inspired me to buy this cd and I only own two of his cds :"Lyra" and "Sorcerer" which are way better than this cd. One of the songs on this cd "Return" is done live but it is already on the Lyra cd and this is a ten minute song song kind of a waste if you already have the Lyra cd. Purchase the other two cds I mentioned before you buy this one. I don't think there is much to this cd as in different sounds and I keep expecting something great compared to this other cds but it doesn't happen.

Better than my other Stearns' stuff..........2001-08-03

I'm very pleased with this CD. I have a number of Stearns' other projects (Thematic, Textural and Lost World) and this is by far the best. The organ selections are deeply moving and all of the cuts (except #3) touch my soul. #3 has some tribal chanting which doesn't particularly appeal to me but the instrumentals (natural and electronic) on all of the other pieces are very well done and consistent with the "sacred" theme running throughout.

I would describe this album as a "lite" dark ambient with a touch of deep space.

So So Stearns, Better than Average Ambient.......2000-07-21

Funny thing about Michael, his ealier works were so trippy but he began to cheeseout with some hokey ethno-influence. Thats happens when one loses their edge.

Its cheesy. I figure this appeals to New Agey people, but not as much to those who bug out to ultra ambient ambience.

The production is excellent...and its still a very good album.

I think 'Planetary Unfolding' was his ultimate 'trip'. Try that one on heavy drugs, if you can find it (the album) ...and of course some quality mind altering HEAVY DRUGS.

A ***** CD!.......2000-06-17

Michael Stearns explores global ethnic and tribal music on a subliminal electronic scale. This CD covers some of his best recordings - light years ahead of his peers. Superb!
