Windham Hill Collection - Relaxation



Review by medievalcrusadesbabe, Amazon.com:
Ambient music should not interfere with your normal daily process, but it should not sound like "elevator music". Windham Hill, founded by William Ackerman in 1976, has given us some of the greatest Ambient artists and some of the best loved ambient music. Even now, years after Will Ackerman has left the company, Windham Hill still produces the best in the business. While many of the recent releases are compilations, which have always been their style, there is still new material being issued and new artists to add to the catalogue of distinguished artists.

This CD has 12 tracks, all by different artists, with a total time of 59:56, giving almost a full hour of calming, relaxing ambient music.

The artists featured are Yanni, Will Ackerman, Mark Isham, George Winston, Tim Story and Jim Brickman to name a few. The music features piano, guitar, smooth electronica and some classic pieces from the Windham Hill catalogue. This is Windham Hill at its best. The title says it all, but there is more here than just relaxing music. This is a collection of some of the best and brightest Windham Hill has to offer.
