Enjoyable but not for everyone

"There are four discs that come in this collection. They are Atlantis, Stonehenge, Incas and Pharaohs. Each discs is different in style of composing and "instruments" used. I don't know if the instruments are electronic or if some are actual musical instruments. Some of the songs get lengthy (6 minutes or over) and sometimes I was annoyed by the sudden "jazzy" instrumentation that ruined a serene moment in the music. It is said that music like this tends to sound all the same after a while, but I think that each disc and each song for that matter has its own personality. I recommend this collection for people who are more used to (and like) the New Age music genre, or who like instrumental music. However, people who are not used to New Age or instrumental music may not like this album, so depending upon your likes and dislikes and your previous musical experiences, you'll have to decide for yourself. Personally, I liked the collection and have purchased another collection of the same "brand" (although I didn't like it hardly as much as I liked this one, but that's another story)."

"This CD is the best; I liked every track. If your a fan of new age music; then, this is the Cd you must buy. The Cd covers the cultures of ancient Egypt, the Stonehenge mystery, the lose city of Atlantis and the culture of the Incas--all for a very low price. Some of the music is slow, while others are kinda fast."
