5.0 out of 5 stars This music defies description., November 11, 2005

This review is from: Water's Edge (Audio CD)

I was at the Palisades Center Mall (in West Nyack, NY) one day when I heard this incredibly stirring music floating up from a lower level of the mall. It was so profoundly moving--what I would call hauntingly beautiful--that I had to find out what it was. I took my two boys (sidetracking them from their quest to get Daddy into the toy store!) and we went on a "hunt" to locate the source of the music. It turned out that three musicians were performing live selections from "Water's Edge." I was instantly hooked. I bought the album on the spot, and I have listened to it repeatedly ever since.

Tim Janis has succeeded in composing music on this album that will strike a chord deep within your being. You can hardly describe the effect--it must simply be felt and experienced. It would be an injustice to attempt to capture with words the various musical moods of this album. You will positively be thankful for having added this work to your music library.

I am a high school teacher, and I occasionally play this album for my students (while they're taking tests), and they unanimously agree that the music is beautiful and soothing. In fact, they actually *request* it. Coming from a bunch of adolescents who spend most of their time listening to rap, hip-hop, and other current musical trends, their positive appraisal of Janis' music speaks volumes, and it is testimony to the powerful effect it has on the human psyche.

5.0 out of 5 stars A dedicated fan from the Big Apple!, June 23, 2000

I have enjoyed all of Tim's prior CD's, believing each CD to be better than the prior CD. He has reinforced this belief with Water's Edge. Being from Maine and having grown up near the lakes and shores of Maine, I sat back in my easy chair, listened to this absolutely harmonious CD, and relived many memories of time along the water's edge. Tim is a truly gifted artist, whose music is so soothing and relaxing. I recommend this CD, and Tim's other CD's as well, for any person looking for truly melodic, soothing, and insigthful music.

I first heard Tim Janis' music on internet radio. Just ordered and received the CD "The Water's Edge"... I really can't put into words the feeling when you hear this music... one piece "Star Island" must be one of the most beautiful ever written! His music is beyond uplifting, relaxing, heartfelt... it touches the soul.. just sit and LISTEN..
