We should all put a ring around the date March 5 on our calendars, because this is when The Best of David and Diane Arkenstone will be released! This collection contains the very best of two extraordinary careers with combined worldwide CD sales of over two million.

The “best of” compilation features pieces from their sixteen best-selling albums, such as “Jewel In The Sun”, “Aquaria, A Liquid Blue Trancescape” and “The Healing Spirit”.

While most “Best of” albums are, well, not that interesting – this release is much more promising. David and Diane Arkenstone are without a doubt two of the most talented musicians of the New Age genre - and they deserve a ”best of album”. I think we all can agree to that

You can sample all of the 16 tracks on the Eversound homepage.

I have been a huge fan of David and Diane Arkenstone’s ethnic and ambient “Native Southwest” side project, Ah*Nee*Mah, since their first album was released back in 2001. So far there have been 4 albums released, the latest being Ancient Visions in 2006.

Now a “best of” Ah*Nee*Mah, entitled Native Spirit, has been released on the Green Hill Music label. Here you’ll find some of their best songs, like Sun Circle and Spirit Dance. As you know, David and Diane are not longer married – but they continue to work together on several projects. Hopefully we will get to hear more from the Ah*Nee*Mah-project in the future – the band with the stars in their name - but a “best of” album is also a treat.
