4.0 out of 5 stars from a more dynamic time, December 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Optimystique (Audio CD)

Those who feel that Yanni is all new age fluff will be surprised by this album. Many of the cuts are very dynamic and moving. Almost Rick Wakeman inspired tracks. Sounding somewhat like sports show themes, the pieces are synthetic and dramatic.

The whole album is really good. Some of his best work in my opinion. But Twilight stands above even the other tracks as an excellent song!

If you like his other albums, but think he is a bit on the light side, give this album a try. It's the most intense of his music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grand Introduction: Here comes the master, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

The first album by Yanni and much more than what I expected!! After listening to all of his other later albums, partly due to their greatness, I was ready to be disappointed when I decided to give this album a try. What a pleasant surprise! It was one the most brilliant Yanni albums and it contains sounds you cannot find in any other Yanni albums. To find out what I mean, be sure to check out "The Butterfly Dance" and "The Strings".
