This is an album of dulcimer music which most reviewers would label new age music.
Now, don't be afraid. Appearances are reliably deceptive these days.

Buckland plays electric and MIDI dulcimer and a custom designed dulciter.
Add a wave drum. These are the deceptive instruments.

There's nothing deceptive about the music though. It is quite overt.
You get 48 minutes of inventively powerful ambient music.
There lurks a subtle Mike Oldfield influence in Buckland's driving compositions.
The music truly soars, from traditional dulcimer sounds to wildly cavorting weirdness.

Buckland is an Australian independent in the truest sense of the genre.
He does street performances and releases his music on his own label,
making his CDs potentially difficult to find in the USA.
But a true audiophile perceives no national borders,
fully aware of the rich benefits of living in a global village.

This CD is extremely recommended.
