A great mix of music

"This is Keiko's 3rd release. I think it is better than her first two. There are some wonderful songs on it, and anyone wishing to obtain lots of her music should definitely buy this CD. I rate it about in the middle group of all of her CDs. I gave it 4 stars, but would like to give it 4 1/2 stars if available. For those only experimenting with her music, half of the songs on the CD, "The Keiko Matsui Collection" are from "No Borders". So try buying "Collection" to get a sample of the best songs from "Borders"."
Beautiful music that touches a soul

"This album as a whole tells you a story. It starts with pleasant, jazzy tunes, and moves to spiritual tunes with some classical elements. Keys are the 4th tune "mover" and the 8th tune "kappa". These beautiful and uplifting tunes make good transitions. All songs are flawlessly composed and ordered. Trivia note: look for Nathan East and Eric Marienthal with "light in the rain", Greg Walker with "mover", and Grant Geissman with "three silhouettes"."
This is my favorite Keiko CD!

"I can just sit down and listen to this CD for hours on end! In the Mist and Kappa Water Elf are definatly my favorites and the most moving music I've listened to. Very nice Japanese feel!"
