The Reunion was "formed in 1996 to explore instrumental music from all parts of the world." If that sounds unrelistically broad or maddeningly vague, don't despair. By "all parts of the world" they further explain, they mean "Celtic to Spanish to New Age." The CD is entirely instrumental except the break-up song "Leaving" and an untitled bonus track, both of which have vocals with an angry edge (and could make great punk-grunge tunes). In sharp contrast, the rest of the CD is gentle, romantic, guitar-led music veering here and there into Spanish motifs ("Barcelona," "Pamplona") and other subtle influences, including the sounds of nature on "Woman of the Sea"and "Winds from the North." Perhaps a little too gentle; my ears were left craving the audible equivalent of hot sauce to sprinkle on this bland CD.
