"On occasion, you find a recording that truly is ground-breaking. Stearns' Planetary Unfolding is such a recording. Why this album is no longer available is a mystery to me. Michael's ability to alter the consciousness of the listener is un-matched by anyone I have ever heard. Perhaps some of the Aphex Twin's ambient recordings or Robert Rich at his best would be a close second. If you can find this recording, buy it ASAP. A classic, especially considering it was recorded in the mid 1980's. Other Stearns' recordings are good, but nothing compares to Planetary Unfolding in my view."

"this is probably the ultimate spacemusic recording- the sound of Oneness- the sound of Transcendence- pure and magnificent- gigantic flows of thick serge modular synthesizer chords- a must-own for any ambient music lover"

"I first heard a portion of this recording back in the 80s (as a teen) and was filled with awe. When listening to this, one can't help but think of things like God, creation, and pure, absolute power. This album is an absolute must-have for those who appreciate the finest that electronic music can offer. This album is not available through Amazon at this time, but I found it available through Michael Stearns directly (at a very reasonable price, I might add). One simply needs to search for Michael Stearns to find more information. Buy this. It will open your mind."
