Smooth sailing5
Some friends introduced me to this tape. It was so relaxing that my husband went right to sleep. I enjoyed the calming effect it had on us. I have recommened it to several friends and plan on playing my copy (when I get it)for them so they can get a taste of it. I have heard a lot of mood tapes and so far this one has grabed me the smoothest.

A Great Buy5
One of the best and most authinic recordings we have found. We recomend this to all who enjoy renaissance music.

Magical!5
This is a re-release of an early album by Lisa Lynne (then known as Lisa Lynne Franco) and friends. The original recording (available through Lisa Lynne's website) was entitled "Faerie Tales," and is actually one of my favorites of her releases. In its new setting, the same music is now set against a light background of birdsong and running water, ocean surf and thunder. The songs themselves are mostly the same, though the order of the cuts has been rearranged, and several of the old ones replaced by several new ones that are just as nice. But the music is still great--traditional and new tunes, festively and deftly improvised by a lush combination of instruments. Lisa Lynne on harps and mandolin and George Tortorelli on winds and percussion are featured, and are joined by violin, arch lute, gamba, cello, more winds and more percussion. (On the original CD, the musicians are amusingly billed as "The Elfin Love Tribe") Though this intricate music certainly can stand on its own, the nature sounds don't spoil or overpower it. They're a pleasant enough addition, nicely suited to this playful music. With our without the animals, water and thunder, don't miss these enjoyable and clever arrangements. They are delightfully light-hearted. And if you like this CD, try the work of the harpists (Roger) Calverley or Thomas Loefke (with his group Norland Wind) too, and also Cantiga, another group that combines Renaissance and folk elements in a similar style to that of Lisa Lynne.
