I wish that I could give this album 10 stars! Though Amazon.com says that this album was released in 1998, unless it's been re-released, I've had it for several years. I am a pianist myself, who plays a lot of Dino material, and I own about 15 to 20 of his albums. Out of all of them, this is the best. I believe this was his first collaboration with David T. Clydesdale, and the combination of Dino's piano artistry and Clydesdale's amazingly dynamic and majestic arrangements are unbeatable. This album has a beautiful blend of Classical, Christian, and Pop music. The medley of "Unchained Melody, Everything I Do, I Do For You, and Unforgettable" is truly one of the most beautiful tracks that Dino has ever recorded, and of course unforgettable! The theme from "Somewhere In Time" is unbelievably beautiful, and the arrangements of "That's What Love Is For" and "From A Distance" are beautiful, yet dynamic. I never cared for "From A Distance", before I heard Dino's version of it. Then, of course there are the Christian songs like the Majestic "Behold The Lamb" which makes my hair stand on end towards the end of it and gives me goose bumps. (It's also probably my favorite Dino song to play on the piano)! And, the hauntingly beautiful "Beneath The Cross Medley". All in all, I just can't say enough about this album. If you love piano music, especially Christian piano music, or piano music with orchestated backgrounds, you can't go wrong with this CD. And, though he and David Clydesdale are extremely talented, I don't believe they will ever be able to top this project!

This is my favorite album of all time. It's great to go to sleep to, but it is also a great one to help you get through the day.

I have been a Dino fan for many years. I would like to tell all of the teenagers who read this that you are missing out if you think this kind of music is only for old people. I am 18 and I also play (or try to play) his songs on the piano. The quality and beauty of these songs is like nothing you probably have ever heard. He is a Julliard trained pianist and has amazing talent. My favorite songs were From A Distance, Streets of Gold, and Piano Concerto in A Minor. Words really don't do the music justice. Buy the CD and you won't be disappointed!

I sort of accidently stumbled onto this CD in my brother's room. I didn't know what it was, so I took it from him, I rarely give it back! Heavy stuff!

I'm into things like Slayer, Sepultura, Pantera, things like that. So when I bought this album (thinking it was a solo album from Dino of Fear Factory), I was a little disapointed it wasn't him. But after listening to it. I found out it was way better than anything else in my collection, even Metallica's "Master of Puppets." It's a great album.

If you're ever in the Branson area, please do yourself a favor and go see Dino live. You won't be disapointed. If you live to far away, just buy all the albums you can.

I love this CD! I have it stacked with my Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Bush, Nirvana, and Led Zeppelin albums. Buy this!

Put this in your CD player, it won't come out! "From a Distance" is a great song. You'll love this album (and everything else by Dino).

Dino is great! He really shows his stuff on this CD. Why he isn't more well known is beyond me...a very underrated talent. I'm glad I stumbled on his work, and especailly this stirring CD.

This music was so inspireing to me i love it, he is so talented oh if only he could give his glory to our creator Jehovah GOD< you know our creator or the universe, YHWH. look it up his name even means, creator of the universe and he said himself it would never change , it is in the bible almost 7,000 times and it got taken out , do the research and Jesus is his son, he sent here to die for us. his firstborn of all creation, before anything else was created, only begotten son, well didnt mean it to be a religious class but its true, all of it, wonderfull cd as well
