I picked this CD up at a “tranquility in music” display in a local spa.  I find the sounds produced by wooden pipes (such as panpipes) to be very beautiful and I figured I couldn’t lose with this album.  I really wanted to like this album, but unfortunately, while the panpipe music was indeed talented and melodious, the generic Casio keyboard background music that accompanied it ruined the entire album for me.  Each song is a rendition of another work from another genre, such as Stevie Wonder’s Ebony and Ivory.  Some of the tracks worked well on the pipes (background music aside), but some didn’t work well at all.  All in all, I’m extremely disappointed with this album and can imagine only minimal use –if any- for it in a D&D game.
