This is so delicate music, and I've had a significant relationship with this album from early '90s. Music, as a means of expression, is not commensurable and therefore can't be set in order of superiority. However, an AllMusic critic Michael G. Nastos gives this gem only 2.5 stars out of 5, explaining that the group of musicians "falls short of its great potential" on this recording. What do you guys think of mr. Nastos' argumentation?

@CerebralBeing: Does it really matter, who gives which rating to this great music and these artists? Trust your own ears and soul. And you will have your "5 stars" rating. ;-) - Enjoy.

...the creator is the master musician, the players in this album are the diverse instruments in Creators hands shaped by years of dedication, commitment and courage to allow the imagination of the universe to enter their souls and inspire such creative imagination, their tools are merely the amplifiers through which Creator expresses the miracle of love and light that is sound made manifest in making music...

כל המהות שלי ספוגה בערגה מהצלילים הבוקעים.

הייתי חולה באותה תקופה סוף שנות השמונים , ופס קול של תקליטור זה לווה בנאמנות את ההחלמה שלי.

תודה.

@CerebralBeing This is a piece of diamond! Just heard it on TV and got that strange state of mind, like being religious... This music came from 4 souls which met in a devine constellation. I wish I could once make music like this.

@CerebralBeing

Makes me wonder what the hell 5 star music he has that I have never heard.

[laelamarie1]

@CerebralBeing Tiad is nicer than I am - "Nastos" name says it all - besides, do you listen to "critics"? when they give a bad review, it makes me go buy the album...

@CerebralBeing Absolutely, friend. Patronizing grows as well as kills! ;)
