Editorial Reviews:
Jeanette Housner, VICTORY REVIEW- Acoustic Music Review Magazine:
Well named, Rainforest Suite. You can feel and smell the dampness, see the green and hear the echo of the woods around you. The first track is called Silent Voices and it places you deep in the middle of a silent forest. In Spirit Lake, single strings being plucked give the sense of raindrops hitting large green leaves. This album is labeled new age and is predictably calming and peaceful. It would work well as background music; however, I found it extremely energizing and exciting when I just sat and listened closely. A uniquely moving work.
Bryan Klausing, Assoc. Producer-PoetMan Records USA:
A well crafted, beautiful piece of music. "Woodlands," I loved the flute floating over top the tender guitar arrangement.
Rainforest Suite came in at number 11 on Ireland's top 80 new age albums for 2005.
