4 stars I'm not exactly a music freak, but when I heard this CD I was really surprised. I spent some time with the main fellow in the band, and never once did he mention the band or even let me hear it; I had no idea that he was such a talented man. So, when I got a copy of this I had to ask him if he was really, actually a part of the band. I was so impressed that my wife and I listened to it so much that it was like house music. It's so relaxing and exquisite that we even play it quietly for our infant daughter; it has a tranquil effect on her too. We love this CD. We haven't loved a CD like this in a long time. I would tell anyone that it's well worth having in your CD collection.

5 stars I'm a long-time fan of this band, and have to say this CD is truly their best. The performance, the melodies, the lyrical content are all lovely. The use of sound effects enhances the songs, rather than distracts (as some CD's do). The instrumental pieces link songs together, making the entire album a cohesive whole. Even the inclusion ot two Klaatu covers seems to blend in perfectly. (About those, the band are apparently great fans -- the renditions are very faithful, yet have their own unique mark.) The highest praise I can give is that this is one of a very few CD's in my collection that I will hit play a second (and even third!) time, just to hear it once more. Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended!!

4 stars I happened upon MagellanMusic through the luck of fate. My first acquisition was 'Ghost of a Living Twilight' and it was rapture at first listen.

I am about as far from a music aficianado as one can probably get. I know very little about the technical aspect. I do, however love music and have always been drawn towards music I can simply close my eyes to and listen with my heart, mind and soul. I am captivated by pieces that help me to paint a picture or envision a wonderful ballet or modern dance. Ghost most definitely accomplishes that.

There are so many different layers to each of the songs. It has been impossible for me to ever get tired or feel bored by any of the tracks. The accoustical guitar on this album felt as if my own heartstrings were being played.

Beginning with the very first instrumental piece, 'Drifting' I was drawn into this mystical and wondrous world and was able to escape into some breathtaking moments of pure serenity. There are several instrumental pieces on the CD, and each one takes me to a different place and time.

The lyrics in all of the songs can, I am certain, be taken into any one person's life experience(s) at one time or another. They touch the heart, even the soul. In particular I was very drawn to 'Daydreams', 'Crying Inside', 'Season of Life' and 'Picture'.

If you are a person who has a simple love for music that can reach out and touch you, this is a perfect CD.
