Comments

Very mellow, relaxing music - Secret Garden's style seems to have matured a bit since Songs from a Secret Garden. Their Celtic-flavoured instrumental pieces are extremely pleasing to the ears.

Extensive use of an orchestra fills out the music quite well, though some of the best parts involve only a couple of instruments playing off each other. Quiet, but powerful.

A very nice album.
