4.0 out of 5 stars Enter the World of David Arkenstone, October 25, 2003

If it's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then it's equally true that artistry is in the ear of the listener. The new age stylings of multi-instrumentalist (keyboards, guitar, flute, cello, et. al.) David Arkenstone can be at times, majestic and haunting and, yes, even playful--but always magical. This two hour-plus collection of his work (which surplants 1993's CHRONICLES and duplicates seven of that collection's tracks) is a wonderful introduction into one of the genre's most powerful performers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than "The Best of... ", March 27, 2006

This is David Arkenstone. My first Arkenstone was "Valley in the Clouds", which is still good even if a little dated. I loved "In the Wake of the Wind", and, while I panned "Caravan of Light", I am still an Arkenstone fan.

"Visionary" is a "best of" compilation type of album. But its two disks are a true "vision" of what David Arkenstone really is, IF you can forgive the obvious cherry picking of tracks designed to get you to buy his other efforts. Be careful about that, listen first if you can, and read the reviews!

"Visionary" is much better even than Arkenstone's own "Best of..." which is currently out. It approaches (but does not quite reach) "The Best of Chris Spheeris, 1990-2000", as a best of compilation. If it was possible to go through every one of his works, and pick the three best tracks from each (opinions obviously will always vary about which tracks are truly the "best") to put on a compilation, "Visionary" has come as close as it is possible to do just that!

"Visionary" is highly recommended by this 19-year Arkenstone vet.

be moved. Fantastic music.
I highly recommend him.
