"The lyrics are dreamy and romantic and shaded with many meanings. Perfect for private, contemplative moments. - Heartsong ReviewMark got the idea to do the group Amarna after listening to the early Windham Hill albums of George Winston, William Ackerman and Alex De Grassi. "I loved their mood appeal- how the compositions were linear and simple, leaving lots of room for one's imagination to nestle next to a nuance and dream there."Their first Higher Octave Records release, Shadowplay, brought them international recognition, being released in Great Britain, Germany and France-- as well as becoming big hit in Japan-- where Amarna performed in Tokyo.
