Deuter is one of the world's most prominent /p>

ew age musicians and has been so since about five years before he was born. His music has always been more than just music. There is always another purpose. So it is with Land of Enchantment. This CD is an overt exploration of idyllic places and spaces beyond listeners' imaginations. Deuter's deft approach and musical acumen take this set to new heights and more. The atmospheres are gentle and spacious, with organic textures. Spacious is an appropriate term, too. Like most of his discs, this one has space music timbres and qualities. There are also overt worldbeat characteristics. It is an excellent and diverse journey that will appeal to fans of Suzanne Ciani, Kitaro, Jonathan Goldman, and Dean Evenson.
