Example of how things have changed.......2004-09-16

Beautifull..........2001-06-27

Those of you who have the first "Decade" and hope to find it's sequel in this, will not be that pleased. The first CD may be close to what you expect, with names you will already know. Smooth music that really has a "New Age" - uplifting feeling. Soft sound, either it is guitar, piano or synthesizers, or even vocals. Although some of the songs can be found on other Narada collections too, the compilation is very good.

The second disc is a compilation of what we now know as "nouveau flamengo" music and some smooth jazz. Narada has become maybe the biggest music label of this kind of music since the first "Decade" was released. Although you will find some beautifull pieces of music there, it's not really the kind of music I like. If it wasn't for that, I would have given it five stars.

As usual, the sound is perfect with clarity and quality that is far above the average recordings you may have heard, making it a reference CD for setting up stereo equipment.

In general, this is a good collection of music to have. Although it definately didn't thrill me as much as the first one did eight years ago, I shouldn't deny that there is beautifull music in those two silver discs...

The first "Decade" seems to have showed the way to a great music exploration. This one seems to be the destination of this beautifull trip.

Sadly for me, I enjoyed the journey more...
