"Mark Holland continues to explore new and wonderful ways to use the Native American Flute by fusing it's haunting and soulful voice with instruments from around the world. His music pleases the ear and calms the soul. Whether he uses it with western or nonwestern instruments the results are a harmonious blending of world music that is nothing short of brilliant. Mark is among the most talented writers, arrangers, and performers of the contemporary Native flute on the scene today. His music continues to take the Native Flute to new musical dimensions not often achieved by other contemporary NAF artists. He has the wonderful ability to weave the flute in an out of almost every theme, motif,and style one can imagine. Be prepared for something special on this latest release. This CD is wonderfully conceived and delivered by a great Native flute performer. I consider it one of my favorites in an already large collection of Native flute music that includes all of his music released to to date. Mark continues to set a high standard for this emerging genre of music."
