Along with Yearning for Lake, I bought this album from their site a while ago not expecting much and what I found exceeded any expectations I generally have of new age/world CDs. This CD and Yearning lacks what other new age CDs should, which is why I highly recommend this album to anyone who is absolutely fed up with hearing synthesized keyboard sounds droning over guitar and piano. If you want to hear good new age music with traditional Chinese instruments(like the description says) then buy this album. Also, If you would like to hear good, fresh, quality new age music in general, buy this album. It will be the one of the best additions you have made to your collection in a long time. Five Stars.
