Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The CD's liner notes define satori as "the indescribable experience of sudden, intuitive spiritual realization." That may be, yet unless you are a serious student of yoga or a fan of its ancient musical traditions, you may struggle to reach such a state while listening to these improvisations for shakuhachi flute (Riley Lee) and koto (Gabriel Lee, no relation). The recording's mood is almost somber and contrasts noticeably with Oriental Sunrise and Sanctuary, two splendid Riley Lee discs that offer a broader, more expressive tonal range. Here a stronger Oriental mood is conveyed, and the notion of stillness is pursued with such earnestness that the final result (to Occidental ears) is ultimately a state of inertia. While composers sometimes refer to the use of silence as an overt creative element in their works, Satori relies so heavily on the approach that it seems as though Lee's flute is being filtered through a dense fog, and from a substantial distance. Satori, originally recorded in 1983, seems best suited to serious-minded yoga practitioners and those who prefer to adorn their meditative states with only the most minimal of audio embellishments. For such people, this disc could be the answer to prayers. For others interested in shakuhachi music, the two aforementioned discs are likely to be more satisfying choices. --Terry Wood Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Absolutely beautifulFantastic CD for meditation. The music is simply beautiful, and it also helps me concentrate better when I am working. Rating:  - Good for backgroundIf you aren't a teacher who is a good "yoga DJ", this is good background music for class. Rating: - Satori-Music for Yoga and MeditationThe sound is open and spacious, highly evocative and emotionally complex. If what you'll looking for is a delicate sensitivity,the warmth of wood, without western music structure or pulse, you'll enjoy this cd. Rating: - PerfectionThis is one of the deepest, most spiritual pieces of music you may ever hear. The title track, Satori, is beyond words. True Zen. It is about nothing and about everything. There is the repeated, plaintive cry of a mist-shourded horn and a deep sense of melancholic loss. The stillness resonates and builds to a feeling of resolution, light, color and the after-life. Guaranteed to transport the mind. One can only hope such a place truly exists. Rating: - A Rare and Wonderful Spiritual JourneyI must admit, when it comes to this album and it's companion, Oriental Sunrise, I am more than a bit biased. I was the producer, recording engineer and co-editor for the original recordings of both albums, released on Plumeria Productions Hawaii label, in 1983. Few people know and Riley might be reluctant to advertise that all the music was "channeled" or improvised and recorded during one five-hour live session, in Lanikai, on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It was a truly magical experience I will never forget. Gabriel Lee and I edited the five hours and arranged it into two distinctly different albums. Oriental Sunrise contains the brighter, more accessable "day" music and Satori, the deeper, darker "night" hues. By today's or even ... Read More: |
