5.0 out of 5 stars From the label:, June 28, 2001

It is not, and was not intended, as an 'introduction to what HOS is doing now.' In fact no other compilation on the label has ever drawn from such a wide range of material spanning most of its history, which was appropriate to the very broad theme of 'slow music.'

Finally, it is not true that there is no new material here. Specifically, it includes two tracks by the esteemed cellist David Darling that will not be released until late August 2001, and a beautiful new choral track by Bill Douglas that was not out at the time this compilation was released.

But the most important reason SLOW MUSIC FOR FAST TIMES should be of interest to buyers is the value proposition built into it, which is a DOUBLE album with over 140 minutes of high quality, carefully selected and sequenced (the opposite of "scattershot") material for the price of SINGLE CD. We think it represents an excellent value and stand behind the quality of both the compilation and each and every piece included.

Websites offers 30 second samples of every piece, and I urge prospective buyers to judge for themselves rather than believing a highly biased 'reviewer.'

After reading other reviews, I decided to judge for myself. Indeed, this is an excellent value and a fine compilation. Anyone who has enjoyed the weekly Hearts of Space programs will find these 2 CDs thoroughly engaging. While there is a very broad range of music included, it's obvious that the various artists were thoughtfully selected. HOS fans and others will appreciate this addition to their collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Every Penny, July 20, 2001

It's not very often you come across A CD in which you like almost if not everything on it. This is a rare exception. What is especially attractive about this is that it is a compilation of various artists so that your not stuck in one particular style. I find it good for relaxing,meditating or anytime you feel the need to be at ease.
