"We were introduced to Land of Enchantment over 5 years ago and never tire of it. This guy can access our ability to soar. Other favorites come and go and Land of Enchantment just continues to come back. This CD is one of our top gifts for people we really like."
The MOST relaxing music I own!

"Whenever stress builds up, I put this CD on and go to track 8 (Petite Fleur). The entire collection is soothing, but this particular one is extra-special; it just has a very calming effect."

"I've had the cassette for years now - but can't locate it at the moment. Time to replace it with a CD. This is one of my all time favorite pieces of music. One has to hear it to appreciate it."

"Deuter's music is at once both typical and defining for the New Age category. It would be possible to use this music to meditate (this is not necessarily a positive statement, as the same could be said for Halpran's music, which I don't like). But it is also very melodic, and active enough to hold my attention. Although gentle, it is not elevator music. This is my wife's favorite recording in this genera."
Wonderful, Muzak could learn from this.
