Relaxing Composition.

"Ok, I know that there are some that gag at the very thought of purchasing a John Tesh CD and while this particular disc has not turned me into a Tesh groupie, I must say it is very well done.
Like other reviewers, I was looking for a relaxing disc to listen to as background music in my office. I set out to find something that was in-between New Age and Classical, but that fell a little short of Smooth Jazz. Somehow, I stumbled upon this disc. I was, of course, somewhat skeptical in that I thought Tesh was a pianist or sax player or a wannabie on those instruments. I took a chance on one of the used CD's at about 6 bucks. To my surprise, the CD was just what I was looking for! It's melodic, well composed and Tesh's playing is, well, pretty darn good.
I find myself listening to it almost daily.
If you're looking for a CD for the quite moments, look no further. While it is not great or likely to become the new rage, it is worthy of a listen."

Not your typical John Tesh CD

"My past experience with John Tesh CDs have been beautiful but painfully slow tunes with a super hyper praise song thrown in the middle. This CD is not like that -- the tempos keep you moving, yet the music can still remain in the background. It is a perfect CD for work or entertaining dinner guests!"

Perfect soothing music for a stressful day!

"I bought this in hopes of having some quiet background music for work and am so surprised at how much I like it! There is another tract on the CD, Carol of the Bells, the traditional Christmas tune, that just might be my favorite track. If you want to unwind or relax, put this on and within minutes you will forget about the outside world!"
