4.0 out of 5 stars Eerie, man!, June 6, 2004

By	Rick "hunternc" (NC) - See all my reviews

First of all, this is not a "sound effects" disc. This is New Age music of the spaciest kind. The best track on this for me is "Traveling Without Moving" - put this one on late at night with all the lights off and allow it to creep you out, which will especially be the case if you're into the mystery of UFO's, alien contact, etc. The cover art says it all - the music here very much lives up to those large black piercing eyes. I sincerely hope Phil Thornton records Alien Encounter, Vol. 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting CD by a master musician., July 31, 2002

By	Richard V. Greco (Eureka, SD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I heard the CD on a New Age music program on PBS and I found it refreshing, with sound effects, yes, but much more than that. I liked it well enough that I logged onto Amazon.com specifically with the intention of buying it.

1.0 out of 5 stars For completists only.
Doesn't the cover say 'New World MUSIC'? This is no more than a collection of sound-effects. Very dull, lifeless and disappointing.
