"If you are looking for beautiful and pure flute playing as on the Hoppe albums, this is not the album for you. It is like an opera, much of the CD is vocal with no flute whatsoever. Please amazon, put up some sound clips on this one."

Layers of the soul

"from the moment I heard Tim Wheater's "Heart Land" I was captivated. This piece of epic proportions, divided into 4 very long movements, has a beautiful panoramic feeling. 3 of the 4 segments are very long, and have meandering energies and styles throughout. Sometimes operatic, sometimes new-agey, sometimes worldly, The Hear Land transports the listener to many worlds. The theme is Surrender, and while it may be soft and melodic, it is a very masculine composition with very gentle qualities. It also works wonderfuly as a holiday piece (regardless of what you celebrate). It's soothing, exciting and reflective. Many of my friends who have borrowed it have bought copies for themselves and their friends."

Hearing this one made me a believer

"Normally I'm skeptical when I hear anyone say listening to a particular recording can be a healing experience. But there's something about the peaceful, simple melodies, the variety of instruments and volume fluctuations that draws one in immediately. And although the selections are lengthy (the first clocks in at 24:56) they are very memorable. I find myself choosing HEART LAND whenever I want to relax. An absolute must."
