"By listing the instruments involved in this wonderful, worldly recording project one can imagine the aural possibilities -- sitar, steel string guitar with scalloped fretboard, North Indian bamboo flute, tabla, cymbal, esraj, zither, flamenco guitar, Irish harp, tanpura, etc."
"The first thing that makes this LP a delight is the magnificence of the instrumental blending. 'Zzaj,' by Montfort, for instance, sounds like music to celebrate the sunrise. 'Morning Song,' on the other hand, is based on Indian instruments, the Bansuri flute of Klein over a harmonic bed of sitar, tabla, sarod, zither, and tanpura; great stuff sounds like a dove whistling in a forest of stringed instruments." -- Philip Elwood, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
CD-R Release
“When I started the 24 bit CD-R remastering project on Ancient Future’s debut recording, ‘Visions of a Peaceful Planet,’ I had not listened to the release in years. My memories of the project were that four indigent musicians in their very early 20’s were financing the recording on whatever funds they could scrape up. For this reason, mistakes were left in and we were all disappointed that we couldn’t reach our vision of perfection with the funds available. But to my surprise, what I heard was a record with an unbelievable amount of innocence, freshness and raw magic that seems totally lost in music today. I also heard a record that has held up well to the ultimate test of time. I felt very proud of what four very young musicians had done 20 years ago before anyone had ever heard of what is now known as world music.” --Matthew Montfort, Bandleader, Ancient Future
