I  am fairly new to Keiko Mutsui and her music, and have enjoyed all I have heard. As with all of her albums that I have heard so far, this is a collect of instrumental pieces with a theme that seems to revolve around Nature or cultures that are linked to nature. I guess this album falls in to the smooth jazz category, but the content runs from Modern to New Age to Fusion. Her use of percussion and flamenco guitar to compliment and counter point the piano made me stop and listen to some tracks a second time immediately. I found the enhancement useful with information and adds a kind of intimacy.
