Hey, what's up New Age fans? It's me, that twelve-year old new age music fan who wrote two reviews on Cusco. You can call me Ed. Anyway, I'm here to share my opinion on the Higher Octave Collection CD. The first disc, approprietly titled, is a great energetic CD for daytime with artists like Cusco,Ottmar Liebert, EKO, Soto Koto Band,Craig Chaquico,Tri Atma,and Randy Tico.The nighttime disc focouses on more relaxed,romantic tracks from Cusco,Craig Chaquico,Soto Koto Band,William Aura, Himekami,and Nightingale.Overall,this is definetly an album that should be included in every New Age library. Some of my favorite tracks are Northeaster[Cusco],Isle of Gold and silver,and moonwater,and Bathed In Moonlight[last three tracks by Himekami.] Before Ifinish,feel free to ask me questions on this website [as I dont have an e-mail address.]If Ihave the CD you want info about,I'll gladly share my opinion on the CD.Remember that it takes up to five days for the review to get posted on this website. As long as I can,I'll continue to share my opinions with all of you New Age fans. Until then, ta ta for now.

I listened to a friends cd and had to get my own copy. The music is great and offers a good variety of artists. If you like cuso than I'm positive that you will like the other artists on this cd as well.

This is one of my favourite albums. Bung it in the CD player and you enjoy it every time. A great intro (though it's one of the older compilations now) from Higher Octave - one of the few labels who I find it hard to pick a bad album in their catalog.

If you love new age sounds with the jazz influence, you'll love this set of artists! Highly recommend!

I purchased this CD primarily for the music by Himekani. I would like to hear more of Himekani's music but I think only three albums are available in
the USA. Many are available in Japan, I'm told, but I have been unable to
find them here.

One of my favorite compilations of any kind. You can't help but feel good - very good while listening to it. I like all kinds of music - world, Latin jazz, chill, rock, bluegrass, folk, new age, ambient, blues, jazz, etc. - but this is, especially, wonderful music. I don't like this collection being categorized as new age because it has a world-jazzy-new age feel to it, not what I think of as strictly new age. I like the fact that one disk is upbeat and the other is mellow. Too bad it's out of print! If you get a chance, give it a listen.

I found this 2 CD collection to be most enjoyable and a collection of the best of the best in artists. I seem to favor the NIGHTIME CD over the DAYTIME, but all in all a magnificent collection of music from around the world!
