Reviews:


Having grown weary of the continuous stream of the tiresome even iritating recordings being produced
today, Christopher Franke's "The Celestine Prophecy" succeeded in bringing me back to the joy of listening
to music again.
        -  Roy Rutanen on 4/18/97 

Christopher Franke's adaptation of James Redfield's best-selling book The Celestine Prophecy is layered
 with worldbeat flourishes, drawing from all manners of Eastern and ancient musics. Franke layers  rhythms 
and sonic textures, from African percussion to sampled pianos and high falsetto vocals. By and  large, the 
soundscapes are evocative, even if they aren't necessarily evocative of the book itself. Nevertheless, 
The Celstine Prophecy is yet another impressive work from one of the most gifted and  adventerous new age 
composers of the '80s and '90s.
