I downloaded this out of curiosity since I did not have any album of them. Disappointing. It does not have any musical value nor any sonic /healing value. Its just that typical boring mass new age pap that doesn't require much artistic gifts. Take a bunch of synthy sound, put a nice "new-agy" name on it and add a beautiful cover - ready for the market with the label "new age". Simply boring. If you look for high quality soothing and/or healing music with a real sonic value and depth, try those masters as Tom Kenyon, David Gibson or Jonathan Goldman. These sonics have real effects. As for so called new age music, there are fortunately also real musicians in the new age section who can play real instruments and who are way above the mass.

Nice album

River of Stars and Rays of Light are very nice. A couple songs on here I'd already downloaded from some of their other albums. BuffGoddess is way off the mark. Maybe she needs a massage to calm herelf. LOL

Im pretty picky about my music as well,but i wouldnt go as far as the lST review.yes some tracks are one- dimensional but i have found very few albums by any artist that dont have one or two blah tracks.This is good for falling asleep to.its sparkly in some spots, but yes not what i would usually listen to.something soothing sor a stressed out mind.

I found this on someone's "music for massage" list. I'd walk out before I'd suffer through this pablum pukey stuff during a massage. As a massage therapist, I'd never ever ever subject a client to it. It's just...plain ordinary cheese. No depth, nothing healing about it, very elevator music. Bleh.

If there was ever a recording created for placement on the syndicated Musical Starstreams space music show, this galaxy of pretty but meandering rays of light is it. The jacket photo shows husband and wife team Pamela and Randy Copus with harp and acoustic guitar, but there are other softhearted sounds at work here creating the celestial tapestry as well. The title track blends grand piano eloquence with guitar, flute, and harp along with rushes of breathy, angelic voices. “Stella Maris” features the flute weaving around playful synth footprints and percussion effect, and tunes like “First Daughter of the Moon” feature machine generated orchestral swells. The main connecting threads are the heavy atmosphere and ambience that serve to create pure relaxation even as the songs hope to prompt skyward imaginations. Many passages are quite beautiful, and it’s nice when new age artists can restrain themselves to under five and six minutes per tune. But like most projects of this nature, a little goes a long way. – Jonathan Widran
