Conversations With God: A Windham Hill Collection, Disc 2

Amazon.com

This 60-minute, 16-track compilation is the second installment in what has proven to be another successful concept generated by New Age-music specialists. In this case, bestselling author Neale Donald Walsh and Windham Hill have branded a pair of label compilation projects with the evocative title from Walshs popular series of books. This assortment of preexisting music, which includes several splendid moments, nevertheless conveys a certain patchwork quality that impacts the intended mood of seamlessness inherent in the genres best thematic samplers. The albums opener, "Remembrance," comes from George Winstons ode to Vince Guaraldi and introduces the project with an urban texture. The passionate vocal style of Patti Cathcart (of Tuck & Patti) and country-tinged voice of Cathy Bolton (who closes the album with "Amazing Grace") at times seem a bit intrusive within the albums generally contemplative mood. Still, gems like Will Ackermans dynamic, violin-powered "Driving," Michael Manrings inventive "Welcoming," and Jim Brickmans piano solo "Dream Come True" succeed beautifully at fulfilling the albums premise. An attractive package. --Terry Wood

The song REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE by Cathy Bolton is just beautiful I would like more of her music but am unable to find it.Can you help? Does she have her own album? The songs by Jim Brickman are very good as well as those by George Winston but many of the other artists I do not care for.

Great Album

Excellent album--especially the two songs by Cathy Bolton. Anyone know how to find more about this beautiful voice?

Enjoyable mixture
Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :10
I was a tad bit disappointed in this disc, after hearing disc 1. If the premise was to correlate with the CWG books, I would expect very little vocal and more instrumental. I did not like the vocals on this disc and really felt that it detracted from the rest of the disc. I wanted to be relaxed, in a meditative state and the vocals seemed to distract from that ambiant mood. I felt that the vocal tracks really had nothing at all to do with the tone of the disc.

This is not a disc to relax to, but rather, to enjoy the wonderful music of the various artists of Windham Hill.

Since the CWG books stand alone, I would expect more of a meditative, contemplative disc, as one found with disc 1. The very few vocals on disc 1 were subtle and blended perfectly with the intrumental moods. But disc 2 is more distracting to me and I felt that the disc could do without the vocals or they could have been as subtle in the first disc.
