Review by Vitoriano Ferrero Martin Jr

Douglas Quin's album Madagascar The Fragile Land is a breathtakingly beautiful and immersive sonic journey through the unique and diverse landscapes of Madagascar. The album features field recordings of the island's rich and varied flora and fauna, as well as the sounds of its bustling cities and rural communities.

Quin's expertly captured sounds, combined with his artful composition and arrangement, create a deeply evocative and emotional listening experience. From the haunting calls of lemurs in the rainforest to the rhythmic beats of traditional Malagasy music, the album is a testament to the incredible diversity and beauty of Madagascar's natural and cultural heritage.

Throughout the album, Quin's deep respect and reverence for the fragile environment of Madagascar shines through, making it not only a stunning sonic journey but also an important reminder of the urgent need to protect this unique and precious place.
