 Just okay October 17, 2009
Blue Pacific (Oregon, USA)
I bought this old one of his because I don't like what he is doing now. The CD is very short, even though they give a large number of songs, some songs are around one minute. Most of my CDs are twice this long.

WORTHY OF FIVE STARS, BUT MY FINGER SLIPPED! I first discovered this new age masterpiece as a senior in high school waaaayyyy back in 1988. And while I absolutely loved this cd, I somehow had forgotten it. Then while recently thumbing through my collection, I rediscovered it. And I found that it is just as moving now, as it was almost 20 years ago. I especially love "Steam Forest", it's almost VISUALLY moving. If you love Jazz and/or New Age, and you're looking for a different sound, you won't be disapointed with this choice. And while I also love his cd "White Winds", "Down to the Moon" will always bring back fond memories of my teenage friends, and the anticipation of entering a brave new world.

People often assign specific songs or albums as the "soundtrack" to eras in their lives, and for me, this album provides the soundtrack for much of my college life. I don't remember how I stumbled onto it, because I wasn't much of a "New Age" music fan then and I'm certainly not now. But my roommate and I played "Down to the Moon" over and over again. And today, after having largely forgotten about it for many years, I've rediscovered it and put it in heavy rotation on my iPod.
That's because this album is filled with good, catchy music that should be at least palatable, if not downright attractive, even to people who don't like stereotypical "New Age" sounds. No whale calls or pretentious "space music" here. Just well-written and well-performed sounds. Some of it is even, dare I say, danceable.
I've listened to some of Vollenweider's later releases, and they're not bad either. But none of them have hooked me quite the way "Down to the Moon" did. This is a CD you can play over and over as pleasant background music, or really listen to closely to enjoy the artistry of composition and performance. Either way, it works great.

Before New Age music became overrun with indian flutes and celtic cliche, it was receptive to the new and different. This CD is one of the true landmark works of that golden era. Performers as diverse as Acoustic Alchemy, Brian Eno and Enya can all be heard in this album, which predates all of them by many years. Not only that, A.V. was backed up by an excellent group of musicians.
