Back in 2005 Eversound did a great job introducing the music of the other Arkenstone by way of releasing The Best of Diane Arkenstone. Five years later, the label has been given the task to revisit this concept though with a slight twist of focusing closer on the collaborations of both David and Diane. With no duplicate tracks, The Best of David and Diane Arkenstone makes a great companion album to the previously stated project allowing you as the listener to explore the more specialty projects of these two intriguing artists.

The album consists of sixteen tracks pulled from sixteen different projects largely from the Neo Pacifica specialty label where both artists have recorded multiple collaborative efforts. However, this does not stop The Best of David and Diane Arkenstone to also feature a few tracks from Diane's solo efforts. More specifically, the album opens with the title track from her solo album Jewel In The Sun. Swirling synthesizers, pulsating percussion and vivid vocal chants puts everyone on notice that this adventure has already begun. "The Angel's Voice" is also selected from Diane's solo effort The Healing Spirit where her vocals are up front and center in an almost laid back operatic approach.

Otherwise, as the title suggests, the album focuses more on the collaborative musical travels of both David and Diane. One of those being "Seduction" from Echoes Of Egypt that utterly lives up to its title bringing in the exotica factor with an equal amount of mysticism. Speaking of the latter, this is best represented by the Native Indian theme cultivated on "Firefall" selected from the album Spirit Of The Canyons.

I first heard of these two artists more by accident rather than design. Diane's "Best of" recently offered me a great chance to enjoy the wonders of "New age" music. I hadn't heard David's artistry then. Now I have this new copy and how superb it is.
The remarkable use of wildlife and the feast of instruments nearly unheard of in this day and age add to the high quality music. I am happy to listen to and judge for myself all types of music but limit myself to buying nothing but the best!. Classical and folk used to take centre stage in my cabinet, but here now comes a brand new favourite.
I feel as if I am standing looking at a wonderful painting thinking "What a treasure-what perfection; as if I were being drawn into another persons world"
Everything that is written in the script inside the cover of this CD is correct-except for one thing. And that's the time the tunes last. No these will be played far more often than that! Yes this recording will stand proudly on my shelf for many years to come!
So "Thanks Diane and David.and thanks to Amazon for finding this treasure for me

I found out about David and Diane Arkenstone's music via satellite radio, and liked their music enough to purchase this album and also The Best of Diane Arkenstone. This is a really beautiful and powerful selection of their best music. It takes me away on a trip mentally. Some of it even reminds me of my recent trip to Africa, with the style and the images it invokes in my mind. Of course, others listening may have a different picture, but there is enough variety of styles on this album to please everyone.

I like Arkenstone's music anyway but had not experienced Diane. Not bad but eerily similar. However, they do complement one another. I imagine that she is on many of his other works and I just did not know it.

I put this on my ipod and listen to this instrumental music all the time. Major artistry and Arkenstone music puts me in a good mood every time I hear it.
