5 out of 5 stars Soothing to the senses.......2002-10-03

Isn't this whole CD sweet? I can play this all day and never tire of it! I love music that's easy on the ears. You can enjoy this anytime/anywhere: trying to make it through the work-day, while you're stuck in 5:00 traffic and how about during that long, after-work bubble bath?

I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

4 out of 5 stars A great CD but beware of the "Updated" Version.......2001-07-09

The CD is really good, but I know for a fact that it was recalled and the last track, "Innocence", was replaced with the Intrumental version of "Titanic - My Heart will go on".

If you collect Kenny G's music though, you will then I suppose want both. I bought the first edition and then the newly released one.

This CD is worth getting though.

5 out of 5 stars Some Will Never Figure It Out.......2001-06-09

Back in the mid to late 80's when Kenny G came on the scene there were instrumentalists who had already achieved pop success. People like Chuck Mangione, George Benson (although his singing is great also) and Herb Alpert come to mind immediately. These musicians have enriched popular music by incorporating fantastic creativity into undeniably melodic forms. It is the combination of the two which makes songs like Benson's "Breezin'", Mangione's "Give It All You Got" and Kenny G's "Songbird" continue to stand the test of time. Kenny G has taken popular song structure and infused it with ELEMENTS of rhythm & blues and jazz to create beautiful melodies such as those in "Songbird", "Silhouette" and "Coming Home" among many others. I remember when the breathakingly romantic sound of "Songbird" first graced the airwaves. It was a refreshing break from the norm on pop radio and it reached across racial and cultural barriers. People who truly understand and enjoy Kenny G's wonderful gifts of melody and composition are comprised of people of many backgrounds. The collection here is a must if you enjoy a sensitive, heartfelt yet passionate approach to music made for peoples' enjoyment. For all those people who snub their nose at Kenny G, that is their choice. I do have to wonder, though, what their reasoning is. Is it because in a number of reader's polls in magazines that Kenny G was rated #1 jazz artist? Guess what? Kenny G has never called himself a "jazz" artist nor has he ever selected such a category for his music! Kenny certainly incorporates elements of jazz improvisation into his playing, but that's about as far as it goes. (And from what I hear, he puts on a great live show.) For people to vote for Kenny G as the #1 jazz artist only shows their lack of understanding and appreciation for the genre. But folks, don't take it out on Kenny. I'm sure he's flattered to know that people enjoy his music but I know he had to be shaking his head when he saw his name at the top of the list under best jazz artists. I just had to clear this up because I get tired of people taking shots at Kenny G based on their own ignorance. If you never REALLY listened to his music, now's the time to give it a try. This collection will serve well in listening while driving, relaxing at home or enjoying an intimate dinner with your spouse. So, put away the preconceived notions, sit back, listen and enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Kenny's the greatest.......1999-08-11

Kenny's alto sax is relaxing and stimulating at the same time. His duets are the best too. Kudos for this album

5 out of 5 stars New Age music doesn't get any better than this.......2005-12-31

This CD is my favorite. Especially, I like tracks 10 and 12.
Track 10 sounds like monks chanting in a monastery. And Track 12 sounds as if it was recorded at the sea, with waves crashing at the beach. Just look at the names of the songs... they are futuristic and out of this world. Buy this CD, it will make you feel good.

3 out of 5 stars My First venture into Vangelis....and I want more.......1999-09-28

I have listened to this album and am impressed with it...liking the later stuff rather than the old..Pulstar,Intergalactic Radio, Metallic Rain and Will of the wind being my favourites. I would be appreciative of anyones recommendations as to further albums in the spheres of these songs...email me:)
