CD Reviews

Joyful and superb

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was lucky enough to see Justin at the WOMAD festival in Seattle, summer 98. He has a wonderful stage presence, which spurred me to pick up this CD. The textures and rhythms keep me listening and always hearing new things. Plus, it's just one of the happiest recordings you'll hear in a long while. Highly recommended."

Brilliant

"This album just shines. Absolutely the best recording of Highlands music from Mada available anywhere. The songwriting and performance are perfect and guaranteed to put a smile on your face. If you're listening to this on a walkman, people around you are no doubt going to wonder what the heck you're listening to that's put you in such a great mood. If you're the least bit curious about Madagascar or African music, pick this album up. You will love it!"
