Comparisons:

Vocal tracks: Ruth Barrett & Cynthia Smith (they do Goddess-y music). Instrumental tracks: calls to mind the soundtrack to the gorgeous videogame "ChronoCross", music by Yasunori Mitsuda. Also brings to mind Mike Oldfield music...and stretching it: Dead Can Dance, but not as exotic as Dead Can Dance. (fleur)

Covers/own material:

Own

General comments:

Lovely melodic acoustic piano and guitar backed by acoustic and electronic orchestra plus soft vocals. Vocal tracks are pleasant. Peaceful, hopeful, uplifting, moving—good mix of relaxing and "dance-y" music. One *is* transported to a magical place. (fleur)

Comments:

Note: Hidden/not hidden: The last two tracks are put on the CD as if they were hidden, in that tracks 9 and 10 occur 10 minutes after the conclusion of track 8. However tracks 9 and 10 *are* listed on the back of the crystal case.

Good for relaxing, relieving stress, and inspiration. (fleur)
