5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best !!, March 27, 2002

This is such wonderful and beautiful album as "Down to the moon", which I believe is #1 album of all the Vollenweider's. To my knowledge, he used piano for the first time for this unique album giving it freshness and variety. I also think he added sound effect very skillfully and efficiently. I am just amazed how he could do another great job in a row after the grammy awarded "Down to the moon".

So... why don't you let this album be in your precious collection. You won't be sorry at all!!

I don't know who or what could inspire a human being to write music like this. I sure hope that someday I'll find what he found.

Use this CD wisely, and you'll create memories that will stay with you forever.

Book of Roses comes next. =)

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich, multi-textured and unique, November 29, 2002

This review is from: Dancing With the Lion (Audio CD)

A lion's roar sets the tone for this continuation of Andreas Vollenweider's ever-evolving creative vision. This music for electroacoustic pedal harp, cheng, synthesizer, solo voice, chorus, percussion and a variety of other instruments is so unique and multi-textured that it tends to defy description. If pressed, I'd term the offerings on this album a fusion of the best of jazz and New Age elements with flavorings from Africa, the Orient, and somewhere far off-planet. Energizing and calming, ethereal and grounding, tantalizing and satisfying, it is an unexpected blending of extremes into a truly artful soundscape that transports you to a world free of woes and full of magic. Beginning with "The Trilogy" and "Down to the Moon", Vollenweider continues his musical journeys here, and then enhances his signature sound in ever new and intriguing ways in "Eolian Minstrel", "Book of Roses", "Kryptos" and "Cosmopoly".
