5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless..., June 22, 2000

It's hard to believe that this album is ten years old (at this writing). It remains a favorite in my collection (I even bought it again when my first copy was stolen). Wonderfully evocative nature-painting music with a new-age twist (although it remains firmly grounded; not too etherial). Particular standouts include "Yosemite" and the moving "Requiem For Hetch Hetchy", which honors John Muir, one of my heroes (I once listened to that one while standing on the Hetch Hetchy Dam itself!). Fact is, there really isn't a weak track in the entire compilation. Definitely an example of the "Narada Sound". If you like this, try their Christmas album!

Fairly "lightweight" music, but enjoyable nonetheless. It will likely become one of your favorites too...

I don't know what it is about these Narada collections but they are really addictive. I have the Guitar (1) and the first Narada Decade sets and with this Wilderness set, they never leave the cd player.

The artists are all masters of the genre; I especially like Tingstad and Rumbel, Brewer and Arkenstone, but all of them blend well together and don't "clash" on the cd. The compositions chosen are sometimes the best and here's the funny thing; I found several artists I really like on these cd's and when I purchased their albums, I found I liked THIS cd better. Why? It's the best of the best. If you like New Age composers like John Tesh, you may like this even better.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderfully relaxing music, November 20, 2002

This is an amazing collecton of really wonderful music. I bought it to entertain the customers in my coffee shop. After playing it a couple times, I realized that my customers were enjoying the music just as much as I was. What convinced me that I was on the right track was when several customers asked me what was playing and where they could purchase the cd for themselves.
Two tracks, especially, are favorites: David Arkenstone's Yosemite and David Lanz's Madre de la Tierra. On the other hand, there really aren't any tracks that aren't good. This was money well spent, and I would recommend it to anyone.
