""Heartsounds" was David Lanz's first album. It started out as a musical accompaniment for a seminar on human energy that a psychologist-friend of Lanz's was conducting. These energy systems, also known as chakras, come from a Hindu teaching that was dictated 3,000 years ago, and has been proven by modern science. There are seven chakras that control the emotions and other senses of the human body, and David studied the colors and feelings associated with them with his friend. He then wrote seven of the songs on "Heartsounds". They were so popular that he added five more songs, and had his first album. Song titles include "Heartsounds," "Farewell Amparo," "Dream Field," and "Valencia." "Nightfall" was David Lanz's second album. Purely solo piano, this album contains some of Lanz's classics. The album contains six tracks that range from four to ten minutes in length, giving the record a relaxed, leisurely feeling. The pieces include "Leaves on the Seine," "Courage of the Wind," Water From the Moon," and "Faces of the Forest.""
