Reviews
Light and airy, deep and satisfying, this 11 track CD from Paradise Music just continued to blow me away. Even after my ears aren’t listening anymore my heart and soul stayed very happily plugged in.
The voices and instruments came together to just take me all kinds of places. I would recommend this Celestial Hunny to anyone wanting a light meal that sticks to the spiritual ribs.
Thanks so much you two for slowing this old soul down.
Love & Light, Riki Frahmann - Mystic Living Today e-zine
Provides me with a dreamscape within which to produce ideas. For me, good background music of the relaxing kind - which one needs in a busy life. Writer Rich, Amazon

Follow the story of Melusina, a mermaid who is torn between her life with a man she loves and the pull of her old life in the sea.
Reviews
I especially enjoyed listening to this album from start to finish with headphones to be fully immersed in the lush aqueous soundscapes created within this imaginative and entrancing musical adventure. -
Michael Diamond Awareness Magazine - July/August 2014
The overall sound has a light Celtic flavor and a relaxed quality that evokes a sense of peace and serenity. Coulson's vocals drift through several of the tracks, including the beautiful "Don't Make A Sound" and the music box-like "Melusina."
Remarkable, relaxing Celtic music that tells a beautiful love story based on the tales of Melusine, who appears in much mermaid mythology. Features special guests from the award-winning Govannen. Holistic Page - Australia
