579.0. "Tell me about Andreas Vollenweider" by SALLIE::BLIZZARD (Mike Blizzard, Woburn FSL) Mon Dec 29 1986 16:04

	I'm interested in buying an Andreas Vollenweider disc.  I've only
	heard him on the Tonight Show, and I liked it a lot.

	Would anyone care to recommend a disc of his?  He has several, but
	I want to make my first purchase a solid one.

	- Mike

579.1Down to the MoonLDP::WEAVERLaboratory Data ProductsMon Dec 29 1986 17:447
    I have "Down to the Moon" and like it very much, although it seems
    as if it is just over 30 minutes (33?) and it leaves me wishing
    for a more full length album.  I recall someone telling me that
    they like this album, but didn't care much for another one of his
    albums (White Winds?  not sure of title).

579.2"Down to the Moon"...go for itUNIVAX::SCHREIBERNoting in the rain...Mon Dec 29 1986 18:149
    I agree with .1.  "Down to the Moon" is the best of the 4 that I've
    heard.  (ok, I admit that I've got all 4...).  One of the other
    ones is also quite good.  The title escapes me at the moment, but
    there is a picture of him on the cover winking.
    
    And yes, they are all 35 minutes or less.  Seems like a real shame,
    given the CD capacity and the relative newness of the albums.

579.3They're all good.DSSDEV::DAVISONMon Dec 29 1986 18:3216
    I agree that I like "Down to the Moon", but I like them
    all.  They are:
    
    		Caverna Magica (...Under The Tree - In The Cave...)
    		White Winds
    		Down To The Moon
    		...and ...in the garden behind the wall under a rock
    
    I'm joking about the last one, but they're all good and they're
    all slightly different.  "Down To The Moon" is a little more
    contemporary.  I think Caverna Magica is my favorite because
    I like the sounds in a cave on the first track.  Most people
    that I've talked to liked White Winds best before "Down To The
    Moon" came out this summer.

The one Glenn was joking about is definitely better than Caverna Magica.
(Obviously my opinion.)

Its actual title is the title of the first song:  Behind the Gardens...
Behind the Wall... Under the Tree.

579.5My vote for White WindsDSSDEV::CHANTue Dec 30 1986 13:139
    I've been listening to Andreas since this summer and now own all
    four of his discs also.  If I needed money and had to sell my CD's
    for cash but could keep one Andreas I'd keep White Winds although
    I like Down to the Moon very much.  I agree with Glenn that Down
    to the Moon is more contemporary.  Don't think you could go wrong
    with either.  If you like one, you'll like the other, if you dislike
    one, you'll dislike the other.

579.6And yet another...KRYPTN::JACOBSTue Jan 06 1987 12:376
    There is a fifth disk out but I dont remember the name I will look
    it up and enter it here. Of the 5 disks I like White Winds best
    and Down to the Moon least since it sounds like a rip off of the
    Star Wars theme. The fifth disk is an import of his early work.

579.7ready to give up...MRMFG1::N_BEAUDETTue Jan 06 1987 15:2112
    Question...
    
    I have searched in vain so far for a song heard nightly on the Channel
    5 newcast...
    
    it isn't on "moon" or "winds" though winds comes close...
    
    before I purchase a 3rd album...is the song available or just written
    for 5's newscast?
    
    thanks...
