"Hansen blows the doors off with her wicked keyboards and synthesisers, effortlessly bringing her incredible compositional talents to the world. Hansen is justifiably famous in Australia...."
New Age Retailer, USA
"(Vicki's music is) wordless pieces, laid layer upon layer echoed by drone sounds, appealing to the same areas of the brain as the best of aboriginal and other devotional ethnic music. It arouses a feeling that maybe, this mundane workaday world is not all there is to life, that there are spaces in the heart which are withering away without a hearty dose of something spiritual. Simple it is not, but it is uniformly beautiful"
- Hugh Nolan, Telegraph Mirror
"A little ambient music goes a long way these days, with my busy listening schedule, so when I first put on Earth Heart in the car
CD player I didn't expect to be still listening to it 30 minutes later, at journey's end....it was an exotic accompaniment indeed, commuting through Melbourne's wintry streetscape"
Mike Daly, The Age Newspaper, Melbourne
"Miss Hansen weaves her spell quietly and unobtusively with childlike simplicity and the calm authority of a master...despite the technical accomplishments and deep integrity of the work, the pervading impression is one of unselfconscious simplicity and a natural artless sincerity, paradoxically the hallmark of great art"
- Harold Kleeman, Unicorn Newspaper
"What a talented musician and songwriter is Vicki Hansen....she gives us quality music which is destined to transcend genres and time."
-Ambience Magazine
(vicki Hansen's music) is one of my favourite releases...recently, when I was far too tense from overwork, I put her album on and it was like having a beautifully scented hot bath..all my cares just vanished as the music washed over me"
-Bruce Elder, Nature and Health Magazine
"Children of the Sun is gorgeous, I've played it several times now and it's full of light, beautifully original music for our next millennium"
- Jaslyn Hall, ABC Radio
"This thoroughly modern and original music, grounded in the rhythms of nature and indigenous peoples, deserves a wide audience"
-Napra Review, USA
'From the rhythmic intensity of 'Red Heart' and 'Wigwam' to the oceanic blissfulness of 'Radiance' and 'After Silence', Earth Heart is a potent visionary journey to the centre of the earth - and the mind"
- Real to Reel News, California, USA
"Hansen's soundscapes are an intricate balance of introspective contemplation and joyous celebration. Her music whispers, shouts, dances and sings, as she follows the landlines through intense and ultimately elevating revelations about the spiritual connection between our planet and its peoples"
- PJs Picks, Music News and Reviews, USA
" Each of the seven tracks on this CD (Earth Heart), deeply moves the listener, reminding him/her of the inherent beauty that resides in each living soul"
- What's on the Planet Newspaper
"This is no tacky new age disc, far too much thought has been put into this. For those who like to relax and get lost within their music, Earth Heart is definitely for you"
- Global Meltdown, Inpress Magazine
"A dreamy yet contemplative work, Earth Heart is the surprisingly natural amalgamation of breath-driven and electron-powered instrumentation. It is a cry of hope that the pulse of earth and machine synchronise and we can place ourselves comfortably in the centre. We strayed from our path somewhere and (this musician) will help us get back on track"
- Baltimore Resources
"I have not had such a reaction (to Vicki's music) for many, many years and resonated deeply. I can't express how wonderfully lost, and found, I became while listening"
Bruce Latta, Sioux Falls, USA
"I really enjoyed the music. I like the way it moves playfully through many worlds"
- Steve Roach, USA
"I wish there were more CDs like Vicki Hansen's. I've literally listened to the beat of this music over and over and I never get tired of it. It's very upbeat and exciting, and I can visualise being around a fire in the outback, listening to the night sounds and feeling a part of earth magic within. It's wonderful!"
- Carolyn S. Peterson, California, USA
"I had no idea how incredible (Vicki's music) would be. It sounds like a cross between Pink Floyd's album, "A momentary lapse of reason" and Anubian Lights "Eternal Sky". You will most definitely fall into a meditative trance. You should absolutely love (her music)"
Michael Richardson, Connecticut, USA
