Another example of the unique sounds of Adorney's music. I try to own all of his music, and always enjoy listening. The music has depth that some other "new age" artist fail to have. The use of different instruments throughout makes it interesting as well as beautiful, no matter what kind of music you like.
CD Reviews
Beautiful and joyous

"This is now one of my favorite New Age albums of all time. I have been listening to it for weeks and I'm still not tired of it. The songs are quite varied in style - from Celtic ballad to infectious exotic rhythms - but they are all rich, melodious, and create a great sense of freshness and JOY. The performances and sound are clean, clear and exhilarating. My only criticism could be that the occasional simple, repetitive lyrics - although beautifully sung - can become tedious long before the music does. "When the flower meets the rain, when the flower feels the sun" is a good case in point. From this album alone, I would say that John Adorney is one of the most talented all-around musical artists working today."
Sweet and Spiritual

"John Adorney's music is beautiful. It might sound corny, but I feel as though each of his songs is like a love song or a prayer. In addition to the wonderful moods he creates, I am also taken with the way he moves back and forth between different rythms and ethnic influences. Just a great album overall."
Adorney's Music is a religious experience for me!

"This is my review of all three Adorney CDs. For me, his music is like a religious experience. At the same time, it is soothing and relaxing yet energizing. There are several tracks, including 'Celebration,' on the 'Beckoning' CD, and 'Always' on 'Waiting for the Moon,' that I will play over and over. I simply cannot get enough of them.
I am not a serious musician, so I cannot give a technical critique. However, I find the instrumentation and arrangements to be superb. The music surrounds you with emotional warmth!
