Previous Reviewer has the Wrong CD!

"The previous reviewer is thinking about the CD named "Facing Future" by the late Israel Kamakawiwo`ole which is nothing like John Keawe's work. It is Israel Kamakawiwo`ole's recording that is being used by the dot com commercials and as the theme to the "Young Americans". John Keawe is a classical guitarist with a similar style to John Williams. Mana`Olana is an good CD, but don't buy it thinking that it has the same haunting and hypnotic style of Kamakawiwo`ole."
Beautiful and hypnotic

"This album is beautiful. This album is hypnotic. This album is beautiful and hypnotic. You should buy it. It will bring beauty into your life, and it will hypnotize you with its beauty. I do not regret buying this album. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is the best version ever performed. Never mind that it is currently being used in a dot com commercial. It is still great and it will make you schnitz. That is all for now."
