 could have been 5 stars August 4, 2007

If I had known that this cd was "copy controlled" I wouldn't have bought it. I like her music but I'm only able to play this cd on a sony walkman player, I refuse to install third party software to be able to play it on my computer, can't even put the music in my Ipod. There are ways to circumvent the copy control but I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to be able to play this without installing some unknown software.
 Wonderful as expected May 22, 2007
Keiko Matsui's music constantly has me saying, "she's so good!" as I listen to her CDs, and this one is no exception. The songs flow together beautifully and there are several on this CD that stand out a little more than the other good ones. As good as the whole CD is, the second half really brings it home beautifully - "Blue Butterfly", "Gentle Sands" and the title track are all great tunes.
This is one of those CDs you'll put in the player and just relax while it plays, or enjoy the drive a little more if you play it while driving around.

I decide to try this album based on all the great reviews. The music is essentially just Jazz with piano; nice but nothing new. It had a little to much orchestration (for me) and not enough spotlighting on Ms Matsui's keyboarding. If you've listened to a fine piano artist like Bob James, then you've heard music very similar to Ms Matsui'salready. It was ok, but nothing memorable (IMHO).
Great! March 10, 2006

Great music and great video! A little different from her other albums - even better I think.

WOW! Ms Matsui has really done it. I have all of her CD's and this is the BEST. She covers the full range of sounds- hard beat to soul renching soft. Whatever you do when you get this,
sit or lay down and LISTEN- give it your full attention as it certainly deserves it.
Thanks Keiko for not just writing music but creating it.
