This CD should only be purchased if you already own at least three of the following Yanni CD's: Devotion, Reflections Of Passion, Live At The Acropolis, and Tribute. Otherwise, you're cheating yourself out of a true Yanni experience. That being said, most Yanni fans will eat this one up. True, most of the instrumentation is tinny and dated, but those who look beyond the surface will find some very unique and pleasing melodies. This compilation really represents a side of Yanni that few are able to see in his newer albums, and it's definitely worth a look. Also, why "You Only Live Once" isn't included on any of his "Greatest Hits" albums is a mystery to me. Make sure that you hear this song one way or another. If you have a little cash and are already familiar with Yanni then pick this one up.
The music in this CD is wonderful! The accumulation of instruments to make these fast-paced songs are amazing! Almost all of the songs on here have a "jumpy" sound to them, yet some are slower and more relaxing. I had to tape the CD on a cassette so I could listen to it at night! I wouldn't even suggest NOT getting this CD, it was the first ever Yanni CD I ever listened too, and still my favorite!!
Hey I have been a dedicated Yani fan for over 20 years now and go to any concert with in traveling distance of him and always get floor of stage seats.
A must have in your CD collection! Very relaxing and upbeat music. Yanni transcends all geographical boundaries.
If you love MIDI music, this CD is for you. If real instruments had been used, it might have been half decent. The fake drum in Track 4 is the worst.
