With her last few albums, Marina Raye has been exploring the use of light background instrumentation in her music, like harp, cello and nature sounds, as a compliment for her flute. CIRCLE OF COMPASSION hits upon her most natural sounding mix yet - that of her gentle flute melodies and the serene acoustic guitar strumming of Chris Rosser. The album is a contemplation on the nature of compassion, featuring music that has a soft, tender quality that echoes the themes of respecting nature, becoming aware of one's blessings and achieving interpersonal harmony. As always, Raye's flute is a revelation, full of reflective tones that transport you away from the hustle and bustle of life to a place of restorative peace.
