Embrace The Moment – Album Review – Yoga Relaxation Music

Day 26This is ambient music at its best. Original and fresh with a world music flavour, there’s not a single hint of cheesy cliché or overdone production here, pitfalls that can be rampant in this genre of music.

Album Review – Didgera – Atmospheric Australian World Music

Album Review – Just In Time – Herrin

Album Review by Leigh Robshaw

Download the MP3 Album Sampler

Herrinʼs Just in Time is an album of rich emotional complexity, lyrical ingenuity and musical integrity. He is a multi-instrumentalist, talented vocalist and an insightful songwriter and storyteller. He shares a generous amount of himself on the albumʼs 13 tracks, created seemingly as much to satiate his own artistic sensibilities as to entertain and engage the listener – a rare combination.
