4.0 out of 5 stars May not be his most original but it's still solid
Overall this is still an enjoyable album. The other reviews hold him to a very high standard but that doesn't necessarily mean that since it may not be his best it's not good. The sound is great. Terry Robb is certainly capable too. It's a good listen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy
I've listened to enough John Fahey to know this disk is way sub par. Terrible selection. Dull presentation. Very dissapointed with this disk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Coasting, July 3, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rain Forests, Oceans, & Other Themes (Audio CD)
With only three original compositions, this album signifies that Fahey was running out of ideas by the late 80s. With Terry Robb again duetting on about half the songs (and taking the lead on some) this isn't really much of a Fahey album at all. Instead of working over tunes like they were old dinosaur bones, he cooks up smart acoustic arrangements from unlikely material, lending weight to the idea that eclecticism is the first resort of the bankrupt imagination. Well, I wouldn't go that far, but you have to raise an eyebrow at the choice of "Layla", and the two beautifully played sambas are just that. And alas, the lengthy "Ocean Waves" goes to show that no one plays Bola Sete like Bola Sete, or George Winston. But hey, come on, it's John Fahey, and he's great you know.
