5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Smooth Jazz!!, July 15, 2003

I had been looking for this CD for years until recently when I purchased it by sheer luck. Kit's musical style is truly remarkable. Every track on the album is outstanding, from "Spacewalk" to "When the Mountains Talk" to "Wind and Water". With the help of musicians Steve Smith and Andy Narell, this is one of the finest Smooth Jazz albums ever made! Buy it if you can find it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Among my 10 Star collection, June 6, 2007

Yes, this CD is very special to me. I'd catagorize this with my happy music series. It takes you from shear happiness and joy to inter-galactic inner peace. I know that may sound a bit out there, but you must have it in your collection to know what I mean. I'm truly blessed to have found this CD again after losing it with around 600 other CD's in my first collection. I won't go into that sad part of my life, but this CD should have been re-issued years ago. I'd like to know what Kit is up to lately, because he's a true talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece of fusion/new age, February 6, 2007

This review is from: Dancing on the Edge of the World (Audio CD)

I interviewed Kit Walker around the time this album came out, and he was a very good interview. He was very quiet and laid back, but over the phone one could sense the intensity with which he followed his music and his passion. This recording was an eye opener for me, and I realized that Walker was on the verge of tapping into jazz, fusion and new age and as he said breaking down boundaries. This adventurism is something that has colored all his work since.

"Natural Habitat," with its thumping rhythm section and layered keyboards is a great beginning. "Spacewalk" features Zakir Hussein on tabla, and a number of Windham Hill friends such as Andy Narell appear here. "Temple of Stars" and "When the Mountains Talk" were also favorites of mine.

This is great intro to Kit Walker's music. I've played it countless times over the years to friends, including musicians, and they all get it to one extent or another. I think you will as well.
