Another great set of Hearts of Space artists....

Once again I now own the individual discs of all the artists but 4 of them...and if I could find a Zeus Faber disc, I'd get it...

Alot of the tracks on this collection have a water theme to them...Braheny and Clark have tracks from their "Rain" disc, Danna and Clement contribute from their "North of Niagra" disc...both of these have a waterfall, rivers and rain feel to them...then add in the ocean induced work of Raphael to finish the water feel...

There's also an Irish section, albeit small with a track from John Doan and one from Joanie Madden...The largest feel of this disc is solemness...Bill Douglas contributes a pair of songs backed by the amazing Ars Nova Singers...and Constance Demby presents a soaring soundscape...and to end the disc...a quiet sad track from Paul Sauvanet...

Once Again the HOS label at its best...another must own cd...
Stephen Hill knows how to find the best new age talent and bring it together in its purest form...

Not that great. Much of it does not seem like space music. very so-so. I don't recommend this. Do not waste your money.

This is a thoughtfully-compiled album of quiet tracks including wonderful settings from the Christian mystic tradition. I'm particularly entranced by the polyphonic setting of William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence" on track 8. It's a great soundtrack for meditative time -- or a period of concentration on writing, homework, or coding.

Pleasant-listening CD. I expected a little more variety, but overall it's relaxing to listen to.
