Here is what people are saying about the Windham Hill: The First Ten Years
 "Windham Hill Gold Vol I" | 2009-09-12 |
| - Reviewed By dlazer1 |
| I borrowed this from the library in the early '90's and loved it and had only pieces of the CD from various other WH releases since then. Finally, I have a hard copy! I remember hearing Alex DeGrassi for the first time on a college radio station and was hooked on the label for good after hearing "Slow Circle." If you have heard some of the later WH offerings and want a taste of the musical genius of the glory years when everyone was buying George Winston's "December" for Christmas, then pick up this CD. |

| "Windham Hill First 10 Years Review" | 2009-09-02 |
| - Reviewed By anniegoose |
I have been listening to Windham Hill artists since the mid 1980s. So of course I had to get this.
It is a 2 CD set and comes in a very nice plastic case, complete with a small book which gives an introductory history of the early days of Windham Hill -- the days when it was Alex de Grassi and his cousin Will Ackerman. Then the other artists started showing up. The rest is history!
In this collection you will find pieces by Will Ackerman, Alex de Grassi, Shadowfax, George Winston, Liz Story, Michael Hedges, Mark Isham, and Michael Manring -- just to name a few of the artists appearing here.
I've played it so many times that I think I have worn it out. |

 "a wide variety of music" | 2009-07-09 |
| - Reviewed By User: ADDCJ5FP5T1AI |
| The music in this 2 cd set varies widely. It is basically easy listening but some music lends itself to daydreaming and others make you want to get up and move. There are a few that are too repetitive in style for me but others have become steadfast favorites. |

| I bought myself a CD player/alarm clock combo for the holidays..so I could wake up to music and not a jarring alarm sound ( dreadful way to face the day!) Just to test it out, I grabbed the nearest CD which just happened to be this Windham Hill compilation. Well, let's just say its been the ONLY music in my alarm clock since, and there it will stay! There is NOTHING like waking up to the opening strains of discs one OR two. Like meditation music...with an uplift! Fabulous! Wish I had thought of this years ago! I keep the music on whilst getting ready for work, and it lends a lovely, peaceful tone to my day. GREAT variety of tunes and instrumental talents! Bravo Windham Hill! Lisa in CT |

| ""The MOTHER of all WINDHAM HILL SAMPLERS"" | 2001-10-15 |

Windham Hill put the "new" into "new age" music. Each year they publish a sampler which is a "greatest hits of the year" album, intended to introduce new and talented artists. On Windham Hill's tenth anniversary they published the finest 2-volume CD set they ever mastered, and this is it.
This is the first CD set that I have ever worn out - I am here on Amazon buying a replacement copy which will be MP3 mastered. I have played this CD monthly since 1994. I use the music to help calm my nerves as I do creative computer work, such as prepare university lecture notes or writing computer software.
Like any classic album, you _cannot_ get tired of this 2-volume set, since new tracks capture your imagination as time goes by. Many tracks are reminiscent of the "Enya Watermark" album or George Winston's "December". This CD is mostly guitar and piano music with no vocals, but several guitar tracks have a Celtic tone. This CD rates half a notch below Winston's "December", which is no criticism because "December" is the finest New-Age CD that has ever been mastered. Check reviews on EBay and buy "December" first, then buy this set second.
Out of about 30 songs, there are probably three that I could do without. Some of the tracks that I cannot live without are listed below.
Disc One
2- White Rain
3- Colors/Dance
7- Gymnopedie
12- Clockwork
Disc Two
3- Montana Half Light
7- Gwenlaise
12- To the Well |
