“…The music on A Quiet Revolution is sorted by general style, not chronologically. Discs 1 and 2, Elements and Peace, focus more on the label’s pastoral textures, and disc 3 (Artistry) explores more ambitious or ensemble pieces. Disc 4 (Excursions) might be viewed by some long-time fans as “Wayward Hill,” with its assortment of latter-day vocal stylings and traces of smooth jazz. Beyond that and a few other head-scratching choices, there’s much to like here, with stellar tracks from Liz Story (whose brilliant Solid Colors may be the label’s finest release) to works from Ackerman, George Winston, Nightnoise, and lesser-known artists, such as guitarist W.G. Snuffy Walden and his small gem “Angela Smiled.” For newcomers curious to know what the blissful fuss was all about a few decades ago, A Quiet Revolution provides an inviting overview.” –Terry Wood
