    Never heard of Vollenweider before but the song’s pretty interesting – apparently he’s playing an “electroacoustic harp of his own design”.

      Its always nice to discover good music, and a place like this, where you can share tunes with similar minded people, helps precisely with that.

      The harp sounds are definitely special, but I’m very pleasantly surprised by the bass sound and tone achieved by this particular piece. The cartridge in the turntable also gives a lot of definition to the audio, but not to the point of being harsh. I think the first time I listened to this album back in the 80s, or 90s, it was recorded on standard casette… so there’s quite a leap in quality this time around.
