"Keiko really hit it with this album. The entire album is melodically intriguing and elegant as all of her albums are, but has a couple of hits that are a cut above to top it off. If you are not familiar with Keiko Matsui, she is a classically trained pianist who takes elegant classical melodies and combines them with the advernturousness of jass and the funkiness of funk in creating her own music. The result is phenomenal. If you are not familiar with Keiko Matsui buy this album. It will be the best $14 you've spent in a while."
Wow

"That's all I have to say. All of the tracks are incredible. They each have a different feel and can take the listener on wild adventures. Many songs like "Safari" and "Dragon Wings" are very light and bouncy. Then there are songs like "Mission" which is very eerie and gothic. I think I am addicted.
(Some may recognize the piano solo "Longing" as "Mask" on Dreamwalk.)"
What a wonderful artist ...

"My son purchased this particular item for me several years ago. I used to play it at intermissions during a course I taught at a local hospital, "Service Excellence." Many people came to me and asked who the artist was because they loved the music.
Over the years, I've ordered several more of Keiko Matsui's albums. They are a wecome diversion from television when I'm working on the computer. They are so peaceful, yet beautiful. My mother was a concert pianist, and I have always had tremendous admiration for the true artists at the piano. I heartily recommend all her albums. She said that the goal of her music was to bring more peace to the world for her children. What a laudable and worthy goal. I intend to order more of her albums in the future."
