5.0 out of 5 stars Never heard of the book but this CD is a real treasure!, March 8, 2006

Already having enjoyed "Enchanting Nature" for many years I finally searched and successfully bought a copy of "The Celestine Prophecy" on December 1, 2005 after years of searching for it and I want to say that the long search paid off. "The Celestine Prophecy" is a stunningly beautiful, soulful collection of twelve songs, all of which are gorgeous in their own right.

Taken as inspiration from a novel by someone named James Redfield, "Celestine Prophecy" is a very exotic album and much more sophisticated than his earlier solo works although it took a lot longer to get into. Some of these pieces have a sort of progressive nature to them due to the morphing changes in melody that make them almost like several songs in one. The opening track is an example which starts with a dramatic, almost serious tone with Central American drums, a frantic rhythm before gradually slowing down at first before becoming a beautiful, peaceful track of almost a totally different mood altogether in the last two-thirds. I at first thought this was actually two tracks but I was wrong but wow, it is a classic!

While the Redfield book itself is not really necessary to read in order to appreciate this music, a familiarity with the book will enhance one's listening experience. Personally, I found the book somewhat simplistic and underwhelming. However, Franke has taken some of the themes and images from this book and woven a magical electronic suite of great beauty. The book itself will take you only so far; this music will take you the rest of the way. Indeed, this music is so original and richly spiritual that the book becomes a commentary on the music, rather than the other way around.

You can listen to this music hundreds of times, and not get tired of it. It is truly inspired. It's not only Franke's best work, but it is also one of the best new age albums ever released. Don't deny yourself the experience of this great spiritual journey!

I loved this cd so much that I wore it out and had to buy a second one. My favorite music was number six, it is the only one with some words in it. If you like new age music and are into meditation this is a definate must.
