What a flourishing way to complete a trilogy of fantastic, healing and spiritual music. As usual, all the tracks in this album are wonderful, but there are some that are superlative:

1. Invocation: This track has a very smooth cadence. Most impressively, the track dips and (kind of) plays in slow motion and then returns to the normal rhythm. Needless to say, all the instruments are timed and mixed to perfection.

2. Farewell To Darkness: This track is a perfect juxtaposition of uplifting and melancholy/reflective music. I have listened to this many times and discover it differently each time. This track resonates with the mind waves and I'll dub it as the "Thinking Body Dancing Mind" track.

4. Sherpa: In my opinion this is the best track on the album. The trademark Medwyn-style Peruvian flutes, the Spanish Guitar and the drums have all been played to perfection. The various instruments have been layered and come into play one after the other, creating a very soothing sonicscape. This track resonate with both the mind and the body and I'll dub it as the "Dancing Body Dancing Mind Track".

7. Temple Journey: The grand finale and the farewell track. This long track has an Au Revoir feel to it. It seems like the grand summation of all the tracks from this and the previous Medicine Woman albums.

Medwyn has really raised the bar for new-age music and reaffirmed his position as one of the best musicians in this genre of music.

I find Medwyn Goodall's music mesmerizing! I LOVE his Druid, his Merlin series, Grail Quest, King Authur. Guinevere, Clan -- all of his Celtic CD's... I'm a writer of fantasy, and no other musician has moved my creative hand like he does!

Although I enjoy Medwyn Goodall's music immensely, Medicine Woman III sounds very similar to a couple of his other CD's. I don't hear anything new and different on this particular CD. It's still very listenable, though.
