This is one album that I think is underrated. First off, it's one of the best modern instrumental albums I've owned. It's also one of the few "electronic" albums that doesn't sound mechanical. This is probably because Ms. Ciani is a real musician (graduated from Julliard School of Music, I heard). The most ironic thing, though, is that most (if not, all) of the instruments used in this album are synthesizers, even though some instruments sound "acoustic and real". The album is also composed, arranged, performed and produced by Suzanne Ciani. This album WILL take you to NEVERLAND!

There is no better way to describe what New Age is than listening to this outstanding recording. Not only is the pure essence of New Age: I'm talking about real quality, inspiration and soul.

For those who think this music is over-programmed, Ciani has that latin sense that makes her music pure, lively, fresh and with the touch of innocence of her first recordings.

I will mention Tuscany as one of my favourite songs of all music I've ever heard: melancholic is the word.

Neverland together with Hotel Luna are the best way to introduce to this artist and to this genre which had no equal in late 80's and first 90's.

Melodic and contemplative, with layers of wispy meaning and meanderings, Neverland never fails to evoke an emotional response of both longing and wonder at how we can become one with the universe. A top choice of the genre (and great background music for dinner parties, BTW).
