- One more irresistible album
I purchased this album very recently having loved the songs I had heard Neil sing in concert, but wondering whether I would like the rest of the instrumentals. As usual I needn't have worried once again it was musical magic and loved instantly. It would give myself any many more fans I expect a great thrill if Neil would turn his hands to more film scores. Please carry on with the magic you create when you put your pen to paper, pick up your guitar. and sing from the heart. Love your music

It's good to see the renewed interest in Neil Diamond's work. Although most people know him via his hits during the 60s, 70s and early 80s, this album is completely different from most of his other recordings.

I heard this album the first time a few years after its release and despite a young age got hooked on it. My mother introduced it to me and the constant playing practically burned it in my mind. The choice of the song Skybird became almost a no-brainer at her recent funeral. It has a majestic feel all over, as if it flew over the musical landscape of its period, and probably would do the same even if being released today. One could claim that it gave signals of the new age sound that later developed. In other words, ... Read More:

Is it any coincidence that the exquisite album that preceded this one, ("Moods") was produced by Tom Catalano, Arranged & Conducted by Lee Holdridge and Engineered by Armin Steiner? Why you may ask. Well, the same trio did exactly the same on this album and turned out yet another masterful production.

As concept albums go, this had a head start with Richard Bach's excellent book. (Shame about the film) I say concept rather than soundtrack because the film doesn't warrant such recognition.

The music here is sumptuous, and for that, Lee Holdridge deserves a lot of credit for his involvement. How such a magnificent piece of work can be attributed to just one man seems unjustified.

However, as for the music, ... Read More:

- Love the book but...
Must admit I am a bit disappointed. Love the book, love the lyrics but ... maybe Neil's voice is just not the one I imagined. Pity!

- Timeless....
Be, as a page that aches for a word which speaks on a theme that is timeless... Do you know words that sum up this CD better? I don't. As others before me, I started with the book, then saw the film and after that it was a must to buy the CD. It is absolutely wonderful and it has something of a healing quality for me. And the sequence 'dear father, we dream, we, dream, we dream... while we may' sums up our lives in a beautiful way. And if this CD ever breaks, I will for sure buy a new one on the spot. I know a lot of music written and sung by Neil Diamond, but this is his best for sure!
