January 10, 2011, Hello Music - regarding One Day - "We felt the instrumental leads on this track were tuneful, interesting and well-articulated. There's no overplaying here, and nothing seems to be lacking either. Spot on. We think your rhythmic elements on this release can hang with the best of them. Tight, clean and interesting playing. Above almost everything else, melody is an essential musical quality. Yours jumped out at us. Good melodies don't come easy; you should be proud. All the elements in the mix here sound clear, and they coalesce into a cohesive sound that suits the composition. This is very much its own art form. Nice work...An overall rating of 3.00 stars (out of 5) means this release is on par with most of the music we receive. We think you are well on your way. Some elements here could be stronger, but this release is solid and rises above a lot of what's out there. Keep up the good work – it is paying off and you are headed in the right direction."

For comparison, Hello Music averages 2.76 stars out of 5, across all genres, and 2.71 stars in the "Other" genre (encompasses A Capella, Children's, Soundtrack, Ambient, Holiday, etc).


reviews by listeners

"In my opinion, the spontaneous is what defines the artist more accurately than the planned. This is definitely a great piece for using as background for a guided meditation"
"...I have to tell you, I absolutely love it. I was blown away the first time I heard it. I listened to it three times the first morning, and almost every day since"
"[T]he CD has such emotion in it...I honestly think it's one of the best non-vocal I've heard in sometime, including ones from major labels. You have something wonderful here."
"...could easily be part of a movie soundtrack"
"...very beautiful and relaxing..."
"...extremely moving..."
"...I was transported by its beauty, like a jewel one can't stop staring at..."
"...I was lucky enough to get one of your CDs. It's wonderful. Very relaxing and thought provoking. My wife and I enjoy it very much."
"...as if I were walking entering a grand landscape...In fact, the balance is so well kept that I forget I am listening to a song, and it turns into a visual experience where I see beautiful places. Like a dream triggered by the piece."
