"This cd should be selling off the shelves at a rapid pace. This is actually a reissue that was previously on HEARTS OF SPACE label. Music that will touch your soul and change your way of listening immediately. The key tracks are: #2, #3, #4, #9. Be sure to spread the word... David Darling is an amazing artist and hope that more of his work becomes famous..."
This CD is one of best, and least known, of the 20th Century

"This CD is probably my all time favorite. It amazes me that it is not more popular than it is. This is a deeply reflective, meditative and sensitive work, that speaks to me as well about the ironies and subtleties of modern life. Good for sensitive poets, nature lovers, lover lovers, dancers. David Darling's exquisite ability to LISTEN makes this hold up after hundreds of listens. I have had the tape a long time; after I write this message I'm buying the CD so I can pipe this in to my office."

"This CD has become my personal Bible. The Gospel According to Darling is a New Testament to the resurrection of the soul through the grace of an inner language spoken only when we resonate from our deepest spiritual place. Truely Heaven on Earth. Amen!"

"ive been listening to david darling since his early days on ecm, own all of his
things, but till now have been allergic to the 'new age' look of, say, his 'cello
blue' and that sort -and couldnt discern WHY hed 'break it up' that way- ecm to
new age- until i listened to the itemd i didnt have. the man can simply do no
wrong. i own pretty much everything (no joke) but invariably when people are
passing thru my apt, house, car, office and hear something from dd, they WANT
it- thats everyone from rockers to classicists.
be sure to check out the magnificent 'epigraphs'(ECM) with pianist ketil bjornstad.
