Child's voice totally inappropriate. Be forewarned

"When I purchase music of this nature I expect it to be beautiful, soothing and instrumental. Certainly with no one saying anything. I have purchased many CDs over the years and this is the first one that I was not pleased with. I understand that music is a matter of personal taste, and of course, I like some CDs more than others. When I played this CD for the first time, and in the beginning and end of the first track heard a child's voice interrupt the music and say "I love you mommy, I love you daddy" I couldn't believe my ears. I know the track is called,"Innocent Child", but I still see no reason for music that many of us use for contemplation, meditation, or just gently flowing background music, to have a child or any other voice saying anything. I love children and in many other types of music they add to the music content. Not true it this case. Had I known this beforehand I would have never ordered this CD."
Vibey, soulful, spiritual.....RELAX & ENJOY!

"Ray Leonard's "Ascend to Love" album, as with his entire body of music, is a wonderful edition to anyone's New Age and/or relaxation library. Tracks like "Safe in the Arms" can really help you find your happy, zen space. And with such soft, soothing melodies and heavenly instrumentation, it's easy to transcend a stressful day and reach a little inner peace & tranquility. Thanks, Ray.
So dial it up on your iPod, RELAX & ENJOY!"

"This is a woderful album. I enjoyed every track on it - it is relaxing and inspiring at the same time. Ray has such a distinctive sound without getting in the way and there is such a gentle calmness and soothing energy, that let's you drift away without feeling ever uncomfortable
Highly recommended for emotional and physical destress!"
