Of all the mellow, gentle music recorded, this CD is a gift as beautiful as the first ray of light on a perfect day. I first noticed Tim Janis' work live at the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair a few years ago and was caught in my tracks by the soothing, flowing music. I knew that the music would belong to me; I didn't know how the flowing melodies from strings, keyboards and woodwinds would become an addiction for me, how the gentle thump of percussion would become a soothing background to round out the corners in a chaotic life. I play this CD often, and my friends and family all say the same refrain "now, this is nice.. relaxing... soothing... gentle... soft... beautiful...". I am glad that I have found Tim Janis again here at Amazon.com and can add more music from this talented artist to my collection; "Acadia" will always have a special spot in my heart.

While this CD isn't quite as good as A Thousand Summers, it is none the less wonderful. I had heard the melody The Rushing Wings of Dawn when he appeared on PBS. That's the reason I ordered this CD. Of all the selections on it, that one plus Wind Song are my favorites. I love the hauntingly beautiful sounds that remind me so much of our early Indian heritage. Since my grandmother was Cherokee, I can appreciate that in a very special way. This CD carries me back to a time when our Indian ancestors walked among the virgin forests and left their footprints on the seashore. It's like stepping into another time far away from the hectic stressfilled world we now live in. Give yourself a break. Buy this CD and sit back and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bring me back to Maine!, April 18, 2003

Just a quick note to say that I really love this CD. It's my first Tim Janis, but I've liked 'New Age' music for awhile. My other favorites are David Arkenstone and Nightnoise, so if you like those you'll probably like Tim Janis. Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine is one of my top three favorite places in the world, after Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, Canada. The music in this CD really captures the spirit of Acadia. You can almost feel the wind blowing past you, and smell the pine trees and hear the peregrin falcons calling. It's a beautiful relaxing collection that you love.
