I had this music at university in 1985 and I could never forget it. Wrote to Andreas back in 1985 telling him how much we love his music here in South Africa and surprisingly he wrote back thanking me!
Wow! Really, Sindile? I am also South African and saw this music video on television back in the 80s. I was so small then (shows you how old I am! haha) and had been tracking him down since then. It was only about two years ago I found this.
Way back in 1982 this was the first music by Andreas Vollenweider I heard. It brought me out of my laundry room to the tv in the kitchen, on the MTV channel, to see WHAT IS THIS!!!!! I was stunned at the effect it had on me and I was fascinated by the video he had created for it. And that was the beginning of this amazing music becoming the soundtrack of my life for the next 39 years. To me it is music from "home" and I know that a lot of you know exactly what I mean by that. Andreas creates music from the higher dimensions, from what is "home" for a lot of us. His music has helped me feel more comfortable in what is a strange land for me, and for that I am extremely grateful. His music has also helped me raise my own frequency and become more of my real self in what had felt like a cumbersome 3D body. There are many like me here, on a mission to help Gaia, and you, through the coming Ascension, and I can't help but feel that dear Andreas is part of our "ground support". God bless him.
Can any of you who listen to Andreas regularly say that you have heard anything he has played that you did not absolutely love? I can't. The man is a genius.
This is one of my all time favorites. I bought this album back in the 80's and have more of his albums than any other artist. Andreas' music tells a story and imprints the images on your mind.
My first hearing of Andreas was on the Johnny Carson show in the early 80's. Even at the tender age of 9, I recognized pure genius when I heard it! His music has been a major part of the soundtrack of my life ever since.
Beautiful. I remember seeing this video on the USA Network video show Night Flight. They played music videos from obscure artists from around the world between midnight and 6 am. Really love his music. I haven't heard it in a long time, so it was nice to find this video.
Sadly I've gotten away from Vollenweider. Listening here makes me realize what a mistake that was. I hope all my old cassette tapes aren't totally degraded by now.

lots of hidden depths in AV's approach to music. He's got a new album, first in over ten years, due out this year (harp/piano/cello/percussion). I'd probably prefer to hear him do a purist approach, ala Traumgarten, as opposed to his pop friendly 80s style, but I'd want to hear it anyway. best "image" in this video is the ballerina plucking the water off the harp strings that isn't there at 2:34. the rest is like selling plastic classical statues in a supermarket. but the percussion/organ subtle arrangements are class. I remember copying this recording from a 12" onto a mindisc while my dad, a church organist who would (almost) never allow himself to be emotionally affected by pop music, was in the room, and I remember when the "surprising bit" in this overly-mid-paced recording happens...the arrival of the beat and the "perpetually (yet not perpetually) ascending pipe organ" line comes in as a deliberate contrast to the percussion played on bells then stones (church organ meets cave man sensibility in the same moment/time/breath/whatever) I could tell my dad was affected by an emotional surprise, recognising something unrecognisable, which is always good for the ears. musical alchemy is....completeness in the world of sound, mirroring mental processing...or...you might just prefer to look at andreas' pictures instead
@chapmancalvin I can, but then I'm contrary by nature. :) Even so, it's only a couple of songs on Book of Roses - Birds of Tilmun and Manto's Arrow. Those two I just can't like.
