Lonely Planet: Vol. 1.......2006-06-26

Wow! This is incredible music. Truly fascinating when compared to the current *stuff* one cringes to hear yet again on any radio station in the US. The track 'mountain girl' is hauntingly beautiful, & the 'lonely planet' themes just rock! 'Brazil' is a truly beautiful piece of synth. You wont be disappointed. More great stuff is also on Vol-2!

Traveling Without Moving.......2004-03-26

This album transports the listener to the far reaches of the mind and spirit. More than just evocative of the popular BBC travelogue of the same name or even the specific locales/regions suggested by the track titles, these seamless blendings of traditional worldbeat and electronica draws the listener on a journey of thier own making. The interspersion of variations on the main Lonely Planet Theme weaves a common thread that holds together a diverse musical tapestry of South American drums, African chants, Asian strings and other native instruments and voices from around the world, filled in and enhanced with beautifully-modulated electronic hooks and rythyms.
Perfect backround music when turned down, it easily holds attention when the volume is increased. Invariably when I play this at gatherings I'll catch people bending to listen to some of the tracks or smiling and tapping thier feet to some of the livelier tempos. Someone will inevitably ask: "What -is- this? it's GREAT!" and then I lose ANOTHER copy of it, given away to a grateful discoverer of this really excellent 2-CD set.

Great music!!.......2002-11-07

Goes along with the great TV series of the same name (now somehow related to the "Globe Trekker" TV series). Great music from around the world. Some surreal; some just plain cool sounding.

vacation music.......2001-11-19

We listened to this on a driving vacation to
Colorado and loved it. This is much better than the vol. 2. Lonely Planet. I would recommend this music to anyone.

Amazingly complex and beautiful music!.......2001-09-07

These recordings are so good that I can't believe they are not more well known. The musicians on the Lonely Planet, V1. and V2. shine in comparison to other well known `world' musicians (like Deep Forest, B-Tribe and Enigma). Highly recommended to buy both V1 and V2, four CDs for less than 40 US dollars. I can't wait to get on an airplane and listen to this awesome CD set! Long live Lonely Planet!
