When The World Was One

by Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra

supported by

raiscott Difficult to name a favourite track, however if I was forced to choose an all time favourite album this would certainly be up there at the top. I'm in the UK but it was a friend in South Africa that introduced me to Gondwana. Absolutely beautiful album from start to finish, amazing musicians and composition both. Thank you, it inspires me to become a better musician.

G.E Prince I’m particularly impressed with the amount of blues that has been injected into this concept. It also displays a natural ability to flow between ballads and more vibrancy. The orchestration is beautifully arranged, and at times subtle elements of Miles early work. Impressive music.

Pascal Ennaert Makes you swing during the working hours, feet stamping along, smile one your face, good vibrations, ... Favorite track: Falling Water.
