Instrumental Paradise Volume 8

by: Mehdi

Release Date April 30, 2007
With this offering, Mehdi manages to invoke the paradox of simultaneously sounding both ancient and modern. Actually, much of what he produces is like that, but maybe a bit more so with this album. It is entrancing, and if you follow along, your stress level is sure to be bumped down several notches. I have two other Mehdi titles which I can recommend, and I think these three are the best of the bunch. Be sure to check out Volumes 4 and 7 in addition to 8. They are quite possibly the best of Mehdi's work.

Mehdi Gift Set Volumes 1-8

by: Mehdi

Release Date May 01, 2004
I usually don't buy CD's online unless I'm familiar with the music already and especially a set that is close to $100, but after accidentally ending up on the site selling this 8 CD Gift Set I decided to listen to some of the audio samples. I WAS HOOKED! This is truely some of the most beautiful, relaxing, outrageous music I've ever heard. I got them yesterday afternoon and I've listened to all 8 CD's and I'm on my second time around! I haven't heard one song I didn't like. This purchase was definitely worth every penny.

Instrumental Heaven Volume 7

by: Mehdi

Release Date May 01, 2005
I am privileged to own volumes 4, 7, and 8 in the series. They are my favorite albums by Mehdi. Like the other titles in the series, this is not very complex material, but the message conveyed is worthwhile and pleasing to the ear. You can think of it as sonic poetry. Some songs on this album have a sad feel to them, but it is all part of the journey. If you already know you like this type of music, almost any Mehdi title will do, but I think 4, 7, and 8 are his best work. Mehdi aimed at Instrumental Heaven with this one. I believe he hit the mark. Also, I can recommend some other fabulous artists in the New Age genre. You may want to explore 2002, Mythos, Amethystium, and Blue Stone. Definitely worth checking out.

Christmas Treasures

by: Mehdi

Release Date October 17, 2000
If you need a good rhythm for cleaning toilets and Saturday housework, this will work. Musically, it was really disappointing. It had gotten such great reviews--even compared to Mannheim Steamroller--that I was expecting something really awesome. When I heard it the first time, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry (over my lost money). Let's just say, it sounds like an intermediate keyboardist on a cheap electronic piano, accompanied by a cheap electronic drum set. The whole CD sounds the same, just different tunes, and there is nothing musically challenging or inspiring. The kiddies will love hopping around to it as you clean the house.

Instrumental Fantasy Volume 4

by: Mehdi

Release Date January 01, 2001
And what an enjoyable album it is! Out of all the Mehdi albums, 4, 7, and 8 are my favorites, so I bought them. The rest aren't bad, and if you really like him you may want to get the gift set which contains volumes 1-8. It's a pretty good deal.

About this album, it's very calm and beautiful, a bit melancholy at times, and if you like this album you will probably like most of his others. I think the flute works perfectly with what Mehdi is trying to convey. He doesn't overdo it with one instrument though, and mixes it up with piano, guitar, and other instruments to keep it interesting. While I listen at times I find myself thinking, "hey, I could play that" and I'm not that good of a musician. But Mehdi is not about technical feats of extraordinary ... Read More:

Christmas Treasures 2

by: Mehdi

Release Date October 25, 2005
This is one of the most atrociously bad albums it has ever been my misfortune to purchase. This is a self-produced 'band-in-a-box' album full of trite renditions of Christmas 'standards'. The obligatory jingle-bell chorus that starts each and every tune will have you ripping this out of your player and tossing it in the waste can in short order. Save your money. This is poor quality material that does not even rise to the level of elevator music.
