"As a yoga teacher and massage therapist I highly recommend "Lady of the Spice Lands". I was first introduced to Chris's beautiful CD by one of my yoga students. I played it at class the day she loaned it to me. It was a hit with my students (and massage clients) from the start! Flowing easily from one song to the next, "Lady of the Spice Lands" carries the listener to a faraway place free from stress. Few CD's in my collection can move me to flow through a massage like this one-it's a keeper! "Lady of the Spice Lands" is one of my favorite gifts to give. I enjoy sharing fresh and lovely music."
Serene and Complex

"This is beautifully rendered acoustic guitar. The feeling here is peaceful but the moods are complex. You can engage it at whatever level you want. Put it on while doing some chores and the work will seem less strenuos. Sit back with a glass of wine and listen intently and you will find complex harmonies and intricate melodies that weave a tapestry even between tracks. I use it for meditation and yoga because it never demands attention but holds whatever level of attention I want to give it. I have been getting this CD for friends as gifts because it seems to appeal to people of a wide variety of musical tastes."

"The magical music on this CD will touch the very core of your soul. Brenne's fingers dance over the strings, creating sounds that could only be created by a master guitarist. The songs are beautiful pieces of work; truly inspiring. I use this CD as an accompaniment to my work commute, background music for dinner parties (both group dinners and private dinners for two ;-), and as part of my meditation.I look forward to more offerings from this artist. Give yourself the gift of this music. You'll be happy you did."

"This is a great acoustic guitar record. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys acoustic guitar finely played. The pieces are varied and focus on exquisite flowing melodic ideas. Chris Brenne's formidable technique does not overpower the beautiful intricacies of his compositional ideas, but instead serves the demands of each piece. The result is a record that has an integrity that attends to musicality first and foremost - sensitive, serene and strong playing."

"This CD truly embodies relaxation and a love for pure sound. As a massage therapist, Lady of the Spice Lands is one my favorites to use when working. I also have one at home just for me. The transitions are seamless, taking me and my clients on a journey of rich and deep textures while feeling light at the same time."
