Time will not stand still as you listen to the bamboo and alto flute music of Richard Warner, but it will seem far less relevant as your mind gradually adjusts to the spaciousness and generous silences that adorn the extended notes found in Warner's ethereal improvisations. Urban dwellers should allow themselves a few moments of deep-breathing decompression to detach themselves from their multi- tasking mindsets before tuning in Warner's slow-motion sonic excursions. Otherwise, you may find his music at first to be oddly jarring, so peaceful and gentle is his playing. Yoga adherents and massage enthusiasts should find much to admire in this two-CD set, a remastered repackaging of two releases from 1982's Quiet Heart and 1984's Spirit Wind. The double CD includes four new selections, bringing the set's combined playing time to more than 93 minutes. On the wooden floors beneath giant vaulted ceilings in Seattle's Holy Names Academy, Warner first performed solo, then returned two years later to play with minimal accompaniment from tuned crystal glasses. Both projects, particularly Spirit Wind, succeed by achieving and sustaining moods of stillness and restful clarity that, while well-suited to yoga ideals, can also be appreciated away from the mat. Meditative flute music has the potential to strike Occidental ears as shrill, discordant, brittle, or exotic to the point of distraction. Not so with Warner's projects. He typically avoids piercing high notes and prefers to explore tones in a comfortable mid-range that allow his ambient works, most notably Spirit Wind's 18-minute "Moonlight on the Mountain," to sustain a lovely atmosphere of undisturbed calm. --Terry Wood

Great flute music.......2007-04-02

This two CD set is great! I use it during energy work sessions as well as just to listen.
If you like bamboo flute you will like this set.

It works .......2007-01-13

I was testing for first time the Internet purchase system in Amazon...and I got the product as expected.

Exquisite flute relaxation music.......2007-01-07

This music is very unique, not like your typical native flute CD. I feel that it is a musical representation of "peace". For meditating or relaxing, it is superb. I have been listening to it for a few years now and I still love it.
I would describe it also as being very flowing, interesting, and not simply repetitive.

Quiet Heart/ Spirit Wind.......2007-01-05

Beautiful, peaceful music. Excellent for meditation or background music or yoga.

My Haiku.......2005-09-05

Wonderful Music
It comes from this CD so
A great choice for you

African Spirit.......2007-05-08

The story goes that Stevie Wonder's Song's in the key of life was being released the same day as EWF's Spirit. Motown knew this & moved Stevie's release date up 2 days. Which goes to show you the respect EWF was getting and still gets today. Of course it was not a rivarly going on, but in the mid-seventies, Stevie & EWF were what one might say, the two leading artists at the time in the black community, only Stevie had made the crossover, on his own terms of course, on a greater level than the blatantly Afrocentric EWF. Maurice & the band never really made too much comment about their heritage, but they celebrated it. Wholeheartedly. Not only within the music, but also in its imagery. We won't go into the well known fact of what Egypt is, that should be known by now.

But with this record, Spirit, EWF does something exquisite in making the music & lyrics appeal directly to the community, but at the same time giving it worldly appeal. There is no way to describe this one track by track, it is a total experience. GETAWAY is a great opener & Burnin Bush is an even greater closer and in between is music that will ultimately stand the test of time. Feel that.

Must Have!!!.......2007-01-04

In my opinion, this is the best EWF recording of all time. Buy both this CD and their "Greatest Hits", and you will be in for a true EWF musical experience!

THE GREATEST BAND EVER!.......2005-05-11

This is one of my favorite EWF albums! I had the incredible
experience of hearing Philip Bailey, sing Imagination,ACAPPELLA!
That was back in 87. What an amazing voice he has! Maurice
White, you have a fantastic voice too! Nobody can sing lead,
like them. You are, and always will be, my favorite band!!!

EW&F IN THEIR PUREST FORM.......2004-08-26

Only this album and Open Our Eyes is where you find Earth, Wind & Fire 100% doing them. Face it! As great as All 'N All was, it tried to be just that, catering to all conceivable audiences. Spirit is an album that controls its audience, showing you the true depth of this legendary outfit.

Getaway - 10 of 10 - Huge, overpowering, funk-defining jam, Maurice, Phillip, Verdine, the horns, the licks, DAMN!!!!

On Your Face - 9 of 10 - Probably the most overlooked jam in EW&F history. I think I heard it on the radio once in the past eight years. Hot, mid-tempo, party-compatible joint with a message and top-notch vocals.

Imagination - 9 of 10 - Beautifully crafted selection headed by the great Phillip Bailey with soaring choral background vocals.

Spirit - 7 of 10 - Reflective and artistic song that could be considered a dedication to the late Charles Stepney. Slow tempo causes the album to sag a little here.

Saturday Nite - 9 of 10 - Red-carpet jam for the club-hoppers, created in the same vein as "Shining Star". Charges the album back up some. I'm sorry, I love it when Maurice throws that exaggerated twang onto his voice. For more, see "Mighty Mighty" and "Yearnin' Learnin'". Don't get down wit' the roach, though.

Earth, Wind & Fire - 10 of 10 - Hovering introspective cut, which adds meaning to the group's name. Calls for everyone to find a spiritual focus. Excellent vocal work from 'Reece.

Departure (Interlude) - 10 of 10 - Despite Maurice's advanced skills on the kalimba, this is a simplistic interpretation of the group's journey to their own inner spirits. I even taught myself how to play this on the kalimba!

Biyo - 9 of 10 - Another one of EW&F's well-known studio jazz sessions, but with a futuristic edge. Not quite as memorable as "Runnin'" or "Africano", but still raises their instrumental game.

Burnin' Bush - 10 of 10 - EW&F's heavy shout out to gospel music. Crisp and still authentic. You almost wouldn't care if the song never ended.

EXTRA TRACKS - 6 of 10 - I don't drink coffee, but I just wanna get a cup, kick back and listen to "Seraphim", except it's not long enough. An extended version of "Saturday Nite", and short acappella "Imagination", and a might-as-well-be-one-long-song "Departure (The Traveler)" and "African Symphony", which is the extended version of the "Departure" interlude are not enough to make you feel like you are getting much extra.

Anyway, despite proclaimed lack of commerciality at the time, Spirit was and is high-quality music and any recording artist that existed when this classic dropped in '76 would have been ecstatic to have their name associated with this masterpiece in any way. Cop this for true EW&F essence.

Excellent erhu form.......2005-07-27

It was interesting for me to compare a couple of the pieces on this CD with the same pieces as done by Jia Peng Feng. Feng uses more contemporary instrument assistance and orchestration. Chen seems more traditional in approach. As a new listener to the erhu I found Chen's work truly excellent.

passionate as can be.......2003-04-13

Beautiful pieces, wonderfully performed. Unlike other recordings, this recording allows the erh-hu to show its characteristics (melodic, soulful, haunting, etc.), this, thanks to the subtle arrangement and simple accompaniment by the yang-qin instrument (no less beautiful). The sound engineer of this recording also allows for all the subtle nuances be heard. Best erh-hu cd I own. Praises to the producer Wang San-ti and the recording engineer Alexander Kavichandran.

A Minor Correction.......2001-06-19

In my June 14th review of this marvelous disc, I erroneously referenced Jie-Bing Chen's playing on Bourbon and Rosewater. The record I meant to cite, of course, was Bela Fleck's Tabula Rasa.

A Master of the Mysterious Ehru.......2001-06-15

Jie-Bing Chen is a master of the ehru, a two-stringed Chinese instrument bearing superficial resemblence to the violin. To my ears, the ehru (pronounced are-you) has an instrinsic meloncholly lacking in the violin. Consequently, when played by a consummate performer, such as Jie-Bing Chen, the instrument takes on a poignancy not achievable in Western music. Perhaps there is consonance between cultures and the instruments that produce them? One thinks of the tenor saxophone and its relationship to jazz, the only native American art form, and the quintessential voice of Blackness. Or the bodhran, and its relationship to Irish music. Or bagpipes and Scotland. Or the kalimba and African music. Or the gamelan and Indonesian music. In any case, if you've heard and enjoyed Jie-Bing Chen's playing on Bourban and Rosewater, you might want to check her out in a more traditional setting.

Spirit Wind, David Arkenstone.......2001-09-12

I love this album! I picked it up at a pawn shop for only $5. Obviously, who ever sold it didn't know it's true value. This music will inspire you when your sad, and relax you when your stressed, and just plain enjoyable when you want to listened to music that is art.
Of coarse with all Arkenstone music it must be played on a good stereo to truly absorb the genius of his work. My hope is that others will enjoy what I would describe as beautiful music.

Pack your bags, you will be transported!.......2000-07-22

This is one of my favorite Arkenstone CD's! The songs range from cheerful and full of energy to soft and haunting. There are NO songs on this CD to skip. They are all excellent! Lots of flutes and drums, as it IS a Native American-inspired work. I have never seen the movie this is a Soundtrack for, but if I find it I will buy it... it must be wonderful! This CD will take you to another world, and you will enjoy the ride as much as I did!

Outstanding One of the very best you will find anywhere. :).......1999-06-27

I have many of David Arkenstone's works. And they are all top notch musical productions. If you are into the very best New Age Music available, you will not be dissappointed with "Sprit Wind" or any of David's other musical compositions. I have many music CD's and these are my all time favorites. Forrest J.

Great stuff.......1999-03-12

Speaking of incense (see below review), my copy of this CD came with some. Hee hee. Kinda stinky. Don't let that deter you, though.

This is different from David's other stuff, because it's actually a soundtrack he did for a film. It's a soundtrack like no other, though! Like his other stuff, it has great melody and everything else. I think the movie bombed (I've never heard of it), but if you didn't know it was a film soundtrack, I don't think you'd ever guess it. Very good. Basically ALL of his stuff is very good, though. I plan to buy everything except the compilation CDs.

Mythic, mystic, magical........1999-02-23

This is the kind of album you want to come home to after a long hard day. The music takes you away to a place thats not in this world of rushing and fighting, it is the kind of music that makes you want to light candles and incence, when listning to. at its worst, invigorating and at its best, captivating.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo proved itself pliable enough when the a capella group was heavily featured on Paul Simon's Graceland. Other crossover collaborations have followed, but few work as seamlessly as this collection, which features old LBM songs, Zulu traditionals and European classical material done in collaboration with the English Chamber Orchestra. The rich vocal sound literally fuses with the classical musicians in much the same way as a classical choral group does. To its credit, the orchestra (and arranger Isak Roux) loosens up to fit the more oral/aural traditions of the singers--the music is less precise and reliant on virtuosity. The orchestra provides a particularly sympathetic counterpoint on the traditional "Awu Wemadoda" and is downright playful sounding on "Dona Nobis Pacem." Sounding as elegant and reverent, Ladysmith more than meets the orchestra halfway on the famous Bach choral piece "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring." Making borders and boundaries irrelevant, this is a work of startling beauty that couldn't be improved upon. --Tad Hendrickson

Simply Amazing!.......2007-02-12

I have been a fan of Ladysmith for many years and have a few of their albums but this is simply amazing! Music truly has no boundaries and they have used their God given talent to touch the lives of many people. It doesn't sound like it's possible, but they have really crossed many boundaries and this album is just another example of how far one can go if only they believe!

One world.......2007-01-12

This CD has multipal messages, but the one that strikes me most is the juxtaposition of European "classical" and African "classical". The human soul is one and at the same time unique. That message comes through clearly, and as a bonus, the powerful messages that each track provides in both content and style must not be missed.

Beautiful.......2005-04-26

I had never heard of this group before and since I like to investigate different types of music, I decided to give it a try. I have truly enjoyed this CD. The more I listen, the more I like. I would highly recommend.

Breathtaking! .......2005-02-11

When I first saw the album, I thought---what???? Traditionally, Ladysmith Black Mambazo sings acapella with the notable exceptions of the times they accompany Paul Simon. The group sings a beautiful, close harmony and uses vocalese techniques to provide the occasional percussive click or ululation. Still, the lineup was hard to resist.

"No Boundaries" is pretty amazing stuff, let me tell you. With the help of the English Chamber Orchestra directed by Ralph Gothoni, the two groups meet together on each other's common ground. Ladysmith sings traditional "Amazing Grace", Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Schubert's "Sanctus." Then the orchestra gets into the African groove for music from South Africa.

Altogether a beautifully arranged, sung, and orchestrated work. If you are new to Ladysmith, this is a good CD to start. If you're an old fan, you'll definitely want "No Boundaries" to complete your collection.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful........2005-02-05

The collaboration between Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the English Chamber Orchestra cannot be improved. The sound that both ensembles make together truly is beautiful indeed, as the original Mambazo songs (of which includes "Jabulani (Rejoice)", "Lifikile Ivangeli (The Gospel Arrives)"), the Zulu traditional selections ("Awu Wemadoda (Hey, Man)", "Walil'Umntwana (The Child is Crying)") to the classicals "Dona Nobis Pacem", a joyous song in its own right, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Ave Verum Corpus". This album definately and distinctly proves that music has no boundaries.

Sousa Via the Royal Artillery!.......2004-11-28

This is promising new series. Keith Brian, known for his spirited versions of Sousa with his New Sousa Band leads here the reknowned band of the Royal Regiment of Artillery from the UK. As the premiere band of the British army, tracing its history back to 1747, this full-sized 49 member band can give Sousa the full power he needs! While many marches are well known, this series promises to explore the lesser known as well. Included are many obscure marches, as well as novelty pieces, hymns, dances, etc. All go to show what a truly versatile composer Sousa was. He deserves to be better known. His music spanned many aspects, and it is quite possible to program a complete band concert on his varied works alone. Naxos deserves much credit for launching this inspired project to record has many varied works. The sound quality for such a budget price is truly great. Hats off to Keith Brian, the band of the Royal Artillery, and Naxos!

A lot of great concert band music for a little money!.......2001-10-22

This is a great recording if you enjoy concert band music and/or Sousa! I especially enjoyed hearing the lesser-known marches and non-marches - Sousa wrote suites, operettas, and more, and they are all very enjoyable. All of these are well-performed and recorded and will have you tapping your foot. A wonderful and inexpensive series (see Volume 2, too!).

Great Compilation, excellent remastering, and a DG label.......2006-04-24

There is always the mentality where the best will always be the best. Whenever you see an unknown artist on Deustche Grammophon, you'll probably be like, "Wow, he's not bad. It's Deustche Grammophon...means that the sound is great too". Anyway, the bottom line is, this cd is really good. The music is very relaxing, some are a mixture of choral and ochestral, providing a decent enough variety. Nowadays, I usually buy newer cds for remastered sound. Turns out that this is one of the better ones. Overall speaking, this cd is great for everyone, not just classical conoisseurs. Highly Recommended

An important update from the artist!.......2005-09-04

[...] For soundclips so you can experience the wonder and variety of this album before purchase. Thank you for your support of Independent artists!

Very pleasant to listen to. Good mood lifter!.......1999-04-19

I liked this CD very much. (But then, I am Valerie's brother.) But, objectively the music is very nicely done, keeping to the theme of Celtic music with rich tones. I loved the Deep harp drones.

Delightful mixture of tunes full of warmth and charm.......1999-01-31

This album proved to be a delightful mixture of tunes subtly arranged for harps, flute and recorder. These two musicians have provided us with imaginative interpretations of many standards (i.e., The Water is Wide) mixed with less familiar tunes that are guaranteed to please. Over the past weeks, I have listened many times and found the added spring to my step well worth the price of admission.

Here is music to lift your spirits!.......1999-01-25

These beautiful tones of harp, flute, and recorder produced by Val and Jennifer have brought me immense pleasure, especially during moments of relaxation. From light and playful tunes that inspire me to want to kick up my heels and dance to the more somber sounds that encourage contemplation, I have found this collection to be a real treasure for my ears.

Great marches, great CD........2003-04-22

After reading another on-line review here on Amazon in which the reviewer said he uses to walk I decided to purchase this CD. I use this CD to walk to while walking on my treadmill. The songs are fun, and the tempo makes for a brisk energetic workout.

The CD is great quality. Sound is crisp, and the performance by the Eastman Wind Ensemble is superb. The only complaint I have is that I wished they had "Hands Across the Sea" as one of songs on this CD.

Otherwise, this is a great CD for patriotic songs, or to work out with.

Great for motivation while walking!.......2003-01-15

I purchased this cd after reading a recommendation on a fitness website to walk to inspiring music such as marching bands, and this cd certainly fits the bill! Great quality, crisp sound, and a motivating tempo, great for a mid-intensity workout on the treadmill (I had to adjust my stride a bit to match the beat, taking shorter steps, and found myself working harder than usual... an unexpected bonus). It's great patriotic music, inspiring and upbeat; I would recommend this cd to anyone who is just looking for a lift or for some motivational tunes for a walking workout.

Demonstration quality CD.......2002-06-08

If this isn't a demonstration quality CD then I defy someone to show me one that is any better. The quality of performance by America's premiere wind ensemble and the highest level of recording sonics make this the finest Sousa recording available in my opinion. Buy this CD and give your day and spirit a real lift. Not to be missed.
