Lush Musical Dreams

"Majestic and playful, MEHDI's music sweeps you into an intoxicating embrace of soothing rhythms. Instrumental Paradise is a sweetly melodious journey into peace with flute, guitar, piano, violin, cello, Persian oud, hammered dulcimer and sitar. Ancient memories mingle with contemporary instrumentals as MEHDI invites you to a magical place where music awakens the soul and soothes the spirit. Listening to this album brings you to a place of renewed clarity and spiritual harmony. You may also want to look for MEHDI's "Instrumental Heaven."

The Legend of the NewAge
Mohammed J. Al Abbadi | 06/23/2007

"Mehdi did it again, this is great addition to Mehdi's series which was done in various styles and influences from his previous albums and it's a noticeable difference between this volume and Volume one on the other hand. Since I'm from the Middle East countries, some of the music are well-known to me and more familiarized with them such as the consecutive touches in keyboard in the middle of track 2 " Eternal Bliss" and the use of "Oud" (This is Arabian word) in track 5 Utopian Dance both these track are very close to Turkish and Iranian music. However, track 6 "Sacred Gathering" is one of the best pure New Age song ever produced by Mehdi.
These Legendary instrumental songs created by Mehdi are unbeatable, they are dreaming music, they captivate the listener with their expressiveness and emotion, they are the most enjoyable music in all its perfection, they transport you out of your world with pure, clear and natural heaven."

""Every album should be called Best of Mehdi," another reviewer once said.
Amen. It's everything everyone says it is. And it was absolutely worth the wait.
Yes, good cover choice; love the white horse.
Where's our DVD, Concertmaster?

8th trip to Paradise!

"I can't believe that this is my 10th review of a Mehdi album already. How time has passed! Instrumental Paradise (volume 8) is an album of music that is probably the best instrumental album released in 2007. As always, Mehdi's music touches your soul in a magical way and the powerful and intricate melodies sweep you to another dimension. It's just so relaxing and soothing that you'll probably never ever want to take this CD out of your CD changer.
It's a great album and I guarantee that if you're a new listener, you'll find yourself coming right back and ordering the other 7 volumes, plus the 2 christmas albums that are equally spectacular. The production quality on all these albums are breathtaking and I feel that volume 8 has the best production by far. Not only does the music penetrate your heart, it leaves a lasting impression on you that is sweet and simply nice.
