"I love this album because it takes the beautiful instruments (gongs, metallophones etc...) found in the Gamelan orchestras of Bali, Java and Thailand and combines them with the best of western harmony and popular instrumentation. It makes the genius of ancient Indonesian music more accessible to a modern audience. Its one of the few new age albums that I can recommend to people who don't normally listen to new age music. My mother loves it. Most everything else in the New Age category is too limp for her. This album could also be placed in the International/World music category."
