Soaring is an incredible listening experience. Listening to this beautiful CD upon retiring for the evening has a magical way of increasing the clarity and meaning of my dreams. No other CD has had this spiritual effect! I highly recommend it to anyone needing some peace in their hectic lives!

Is it real? Is it relevant? Is it empty fluff? You tell me the value of genuine relaxed and unpretentions pleasure. This album radiates simple innocent joy. It's a heart healer. Captures the moment of the early days of this genre.

This very relaxing work from Evenson/Barabas is another wonder to behold from their work together. However, I must stress the fact that this is much closer to RELAXATION music than 'new age music' (although the 2 get intertwined alot). The CD that these guys did together called 'Back to the Garden' had far more musical value than this one, as beautiful and relaxing as this one is...so, getting that off my chest...

Overall, this uplifting CD will calm your soul and leave the worries of the world behind. The flute work is beautiful, and Barabas mainly contributes with electronic keyboard devices on this one (a shame, for such a great keyboardist!). Aside from my 'music critic' stuff here, this ethereal and hypnotic CD will please any fan of this genre of music, as well as Barabas and Evenson fans too. I loved it, regardless of my remarks before!

I heard "Vanilla Float" while listening to Sirius satellite radio, and immediately bought this whole CD. On listening through the rest of the music, I am surprised at how melancholy it is. I think of soaring as a happy thing, but this CD emphasizes (at least, to me) the solitude and peace of solitary flight. It is a much more minor-key CD than I expected. I enjoy it, and it is relaxing, but it isn't exactly the bubbly, happy flying music I expected Soaring to be about.
