While this collection does contain many of Oregon's best early works as "Aurora," "Tide Pool," "Margueritte," "Silence Of A Candle" and "Ghost Beads," it is missing other prime cuts. If "Canyon Song," "Song For A Friend," especially "Icarus," "Yet To Be" and "Witchi-Tai-To" were included, this would accurately be an essential collection of Oregon's best early works. Nonetheless, while it does fall short, there is some truly great music by this legendary pioneering world music quartet included here, and is recommended as a starter set. © Michael G. Nastos
