This is, without a doubt, one of the best Arthur Lyman albums. A wonderful mix of sounds. Gentle soothing melodies along with quick paced percussion sounds. In particular, "One Night in Hilo" tugs at you with its soft gentle chimes mixed with low gutteral sounds. You can almost feel the unbearable sadness of the separation of lovers. Arthur Lyman truly was a talented musician and a special gentle man. His passing in 2002 is indeed a loss for lovers of his music.
