Review

This new collection of compositions by some of Narada's finest artists celebrates one of nature's most endearing elements and the link it presents to all living beings. Timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of Earth Day, this compilation features expressive, dramatic musical interpretations by such artists as keyboardist David Arkenstone, composer Michael Whalen, German guitarist Ralf Illenberger, wind and ethnic percussionist Budi Siebert and Russian-born piano and keyboard virtuoso Kostia. The introduction and haunting interludes are skillfully performed by the highly revered Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai... ~ MusD, All Music Guide
