5.0 out of 5 stars For Abdullah Ibrahim start here. 21 Mar 2010
Format:Audio CD
Don't lend this album to a friend, you will not get it back. It soon becomes an old friend, comfortable to be with and you miss them after a while when they're not around. This is a great place to start with Abdullah Ibrahim and his uniquely african jazz vibe and this is highly addictive listening. This remained in the former Jazz FM's most wanted playlist for ten months and it's remained one of my all time favourites. The title number is simply crafted and builds layer by layer to a predictably warm and satisfying finish that just leaves you feeling great. That's the strength of this album the music lifts you with it's rawness and honesty. I cannot recommend it enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Few can attain these heights 22 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
I am writing this because I was staggered that anybody could not give it 5 stars (and I know that on Amazon, there are thousands of 5 star albums). If you want beautiful, calming, peaceful music played by real musicians, the 3 consecutive tracks Water From an Ancient Well, The Wedding and the Mountain hit heights that I can't think have been achieved by anybody else. I can see that there are a couple of tracks which might not appeal to those who don't like jazz, but those 3 tracks are sublime in the old-fashioned meaning of the word.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great 28 Nov 2012
By Colin C
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this having listened to the first track, and thinking that Water From An Ancient Well must take Ibrahim back to his South African roots, but the truth is it didn't - well the music didn't do it for me anyway. So its OK - nice to listen to, but not great.
