"for those that like dub music and its transcendental waves of elongenated sound waves-here is a cd for you. call it new age or new wave or world music-but the conscious spirit digs musical mediums for its endless need to express itself. the electronica dimension is a glorious filler and adhesive to this modern adaptation of some very beautiful tradtional ethnical instruments. good music for meditation,contemplation,or simple relaxation! namaste' ya'll"

Wow

"Amazing! All three albums in this series are stellar, taking it the 'next' level. Up there with Shpongle, Shulman, bluetech, etc, this music takes you on a journey. Many beautifully haunting 'organic' instruments vibrating throughout tastefully and masterfully 'mixed' with an electronic side that maintains the purity of the 'spiritual' mantras and 'sacred' instruments. these are just some of my opinions about this cd. check it out. send me a postcard from cloud nine. i think it is some of the best fusion between traditional and electronic elements being produced right now, just my humble opinion ;-0 Look Forward to more from these 'guys' EVERY time they produce it.

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya



great for yoga, sex, tripping, driving, meditation, relaxing, etc."

Middle-Eastern/New Age/Spirituality/Electronica

"Middle-Eastern type sound with a spiritual flare--bongos and base drums, slowly introducing other instruments on the first track, the sound is interesting, easy-listening, relaxing, flowing sounds with a nice rambling kind of beat. If I were producing a movie, I would see this as background music to a scene where the caravans were crossing the Egyptian desert in search of an ancient spiritual finding in modern times.



A single CD, 7 tracks, just a hair short of one hour (a short hair), you could even meditate with this music and do visioning, but understand that it is a bouncier music than what most people call meditation music. The tracks are all similar musical movements. If you are into new age/spirituality, you will likely appreciate the track titles as well:

Prana Shakti 7:56

Subterranean Sanctuary 7:48

Om Namo Bhagavate 7:37

Misty Mountain 8:46

Solar Prayers 8:03

Bhodi Mandala 8:44

Lotus Heart 9:04



The album cover says, ". . . downtempo and psy-chill with sinewy basslines, otherworldly guitar and an exotic mix of organic instruments into an Indo-ambient mystical fusion. . ." (OK--I just know I like it.)



It also says this is part of the soundtrack to the Duncan Wong Series "Duncan Wong Yogic Arts". This is electronically infused devotional music which incorporates instruments: subahar, tabla, udu, erhu, cello, and voice, emphasizing the space between the music. Forming electronic dance music and as part of the techno-tribal renaissance movement, this music is also part of a promotion to create a "conscious way to walk peacefully in the world".



This music is quite appealing to both my 36 year old son and to his 60 year old Momma.



Namaste'
