Quiet Moments

"I shall not get into a typical musical critque while referencing this collection of music. I will say only that I had searched for well over a decade to replace my vinyl versions. In finding it, I now have music that can either send me to the farthest reaches of space, or deep within myself. No other artist's expression has ever touched my soul so deeply as has Lonnie Liston Smith's. I now search for "A Song For the Children," and "Love Is the Answer," to complete my collection. Thank you Lonnie for layers upon layers of musical heaven."
Cosmic groove

"I think these are the two best LLS albums made. Loveland takes you to a different level, with it's lush layers of electronic music. As a younger person, I would put these albums on when I had a date over to my place. Usually it would work!"
