Check out "Emergence"

"THE MOST INNOVATIVE ALBUM OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED"

The intro says it all...and I have to agree. This purely instrumental album is incredible. A very thrilling, intricate web of sound. Anyone and Everyone can get something out of this album. It doesn't matter if your a rocker or a new ager, if your a child or a seasoned adult.

The creater, Enier Gonzalez, adds a disclaimer on his myspace page "Be careful...you can get lost in the music". That is so true...before you know it you can lose all track of time in the hypnotic sounds.

The album can be purchased at most online stores as well as download sites, such as Amazon and I-tunes.
