"Most of Cusco's releases are available only in Europe. This album was originally released in Germany as Ring der Delphine. In the US, some of the tracks were put on various CDs, which are really just "Best of" CDs drawing from other Cusco releases. Of all the German releases (I have them all, as I lived there), this and Tales from a Distant Land are by far the best. The music here is simply great. The German release also had a long storybook (in German) about the tale of the Rings of the Dolphins, and how they progressed through history. Anyway, buy this album. It's really good: the music is quite different from Apurimac. Various instruments and synthesizers are combined to make a great album, and there's not a single track I dislike."

"This is a beautiful instrumental work of art. The second song was used at my daugther's wedding for the bridesmaids to walk into and the first song was used for the beautiful bride to walk down the aisle. Simply beautiful!"
This is powerful music!

"I have collected many of CUSCO's CDs and yet this one stands out as one of my favorites. The melodies are so rich with content. I discover things I had not heard before everytime I listen to it. The way these guys weave this music together is pure magic. If you like Yanni, the early works of Peter Buffett or Horizont you like this music."
Beautiful music. Brilliant work.

"The music is just wonderful. You can just sit back, close your eyes and relax or you can read the little story that comes with each music piece. My favorite is DJEBEL AT TARIK. The music makes you feel like you are there, living every moment. I am waiting for the full-length novel with the same title."

"THIS IS THE FIRST CUSCO CD THAT I PURCHASED AND THE ONE THAT HOOKED ME ON CUSCO. VERY EASY LISTENING. SINCE BUYING RING OF THE DOLPHIN I HAVE WENT ON TO PURCHASE 6 MORE CUSCO CD'S AND HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED WITH ANY OF THEM."
