Everything about this album is excellent, from the emotional, colorful strides of Martin Kolbe's "Hexagram Of The Heavens" and the vivid, rapid movement of Nando Lauria's "Sonho (Dream)" to the reverberating, Mediterranean feel of Simon Wynberg's "Mariah's Watermill." My family purchased this CD in 1994, and I'm still listening to it here in late 2002. For the remaining humans that still appreciate instrumental music, this CD is a must.

One of the best CDs I have ever had the chance to enjoy. A deeply moving acustic album.

This is a 13-song, 50 minute sampler of Narada guitarists...and if you're wondering about the quality, wonder no more.

It's funny...while I was listening to the CD I thought of a couple of lines from the old bluegrass standard "Uncle Pen" (even though there are no fiddles on the album and the music isn't bluegrass)...

"Uncle Pen played the fiddle, Lord, how it would ring,
You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing!"

You can really hear the "wood and wires" in these performances...this is organic, acoustic music played by real musicians...the instrumentals "talk" and "sing" without a single lyric, because the music itself is so lyrical, so genuinely warm.

One note of interest is that Eric Tingstad, who performs the opening track "Monongahela," was also a featured artist on Windham Hill Records: Guitar Sampler. That's another fine CD you may wish to check out, but by all means, if you are attracted to this kind of music, buy this CD.

Excellent music! I have this music on cassette, but was damaged. I am glad I found the CD of this.

I had an aging cassette tape of this music that was to degraded to pull music from to digitize. I was so pleased to find the CD at Amazon.com...This is a beautiful collection of guitar music. Now I have saved some special music that I can treasure.
