4.0 out of 5 stars Lush And Inspiring, August 15, 2004

I really like this CD. I can see the one reviewer's point about it getting a little Lawrence Welkish in some places, what with the orchestra and choir, but the steel guitars are as island breezy as you could want, the musical selections are all good to great, and the production is full and lush. It really is quite easy to close your eyes and get wafted away on a warm tropical breeze while listening to this album.

I came across this CD while staying in a condo on Molokai. My wife and I had a lot of fun listening to it while eating breakfast on the lanai or watching waves crash on the beach. Maybe we are not as sophisticated as the other reviewers, but I would recommend it and have bought a copy.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ack., August 8, 2003

This review is from: Voyager Series: Romantic Hawaii (Audio CD)

I am a haole (caucasian from the mainland) who loves ticky tacky-type luau music (the kind performed for tourists), as well as exotica (the music that wafted from my parents' vinyl albums when I was a baby in the 60's). But honestly, this album falls short of both of those categories.

It is truly awful. It sounds like Lawrence Welk's sickly rendition of "Polynesian" music. Just listen to the first sample, and you'll detect the distinct sound of an old guy waving a baton at his orchestra. Yeesh.

There are many, many great CD's out there to help provide the perfect ambiance and background for your next luau or cocktail party. This one, however, ain't it. Keep shopping!
