- I just love this CD. Very smooth and relaxing jazz - I leave it playing in the car for days. Very similar to Paul Hardcastle and The Jazzmaster series - which is a real complement to any group. Wish I could find more of their music.
- If you know the New Age harp music of Vollenwieder, there's a track on this CD called Fly. It features a subtle harp in the background that is very reminiscent of Andreas Vollenweider's sound and style.So much so that I thought perhaps he made a guest appearance on the track. But there's no info indicating this. Is this track just borrowing from his harp style as an appreciation for his music? Or is it really him?
- This is a must have if you are new to dancing fantasy. great cd!
- Dancing Fantasy's self-titled 1999 release is an interesting mix of covers as well as of course original material. The covers often have a mixed signal from me. Their cover of "Take Five" is definately original but I am not too fond of how they converted a 5/4 timing into just a conventional 4/4 track but apart from that, this is still a great song. The cover version of Art of Noises famous 1984 classic "Moments In Love" is beautifully done and has it's own character altogether but I wish it was much longer. The second half of this album is stronger with the beautiful "Eternal" and "Power of Life". The closing track "Farewell" brings back some of the classic DF of their early years but even that is a far cry from beauties like "Quiet Beauty" and their "California Grooves" release. Overall, this is yet another decent but mixed bag collection.
- This is smooth jazz at it's
best
- This is a great find...this is the real meaning of
"smooth jazz"...close your eyes and sit back...very romantic and
sensual...
- During those rare quiet nights in the ER, there's nothing
quite like Dancing Fantasy's "Take Five" to soothe the weary. The
opening note will take your breath away! This song, and subsequently, the
album, was my intro to smooth jazz. Enjoy!
