Music of the Spheres

One of the best cd's i now own. This is an Orchestral venture that is a timeless piece of music that takes you on a journey of so many emotions. I feel it is the best creation Mike has composed.

Pure Moods, Vol. I

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
by: Various Artists, Adiemus, Angelo Badalamenti, David A. Stewart, David Byrne, Deep Forest, Enigma, Ennio Morricone, Enya, Eight Others

Release Date April 29, 1997
I first heard of this cd when it was first advertised on tv in the 90's but honestly thought nothing of buying it. However in 2001 I happened to spot this cd when I was stationed in Japan and am happy to have spent my money on this cd. Due to the variety of the songs I feel that this cd is good to listen to at work , when you are spending time with your loved ones, and relaxing and nurturing yourself when you are alone. Some of the notable tracks that really stand out in a positive way for me are

"return to innocence" by enigma
"orinoco flow" by enya
"sweet lullaby" by deep forest
"tubular bells" by mike oldfield
"sadeness" by enigma

There are other good tracks on this cd that are also enjoyable. ... Read More:

Chakra Suite

Release Date October 16, 2001
The product and Steve Halpern are phenomenal. The actual CD that I received was "new" yet it skips and the last part of the soundtrack does not play because of the skipping.

Isabliss

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
by: Amethystium

Release Date June 17, 2008
Nearly four years passed between Amethystium's last album "Evermind" and the release of Ramsfjord's latest release "Isabliss". Though it was certainly a while between including the release of a retrospective "Emblem", "Isabliss" is a marvelous evolution of sound from the past while maintaining much of the spirit of the old. "Isabliss" is comparison has a much more of a monochromic feel, like having a much grayer, more wintry atmosphere. Even some of the songs have a different melodic structure. The album cover artwork perfectly portrays the mood of the album in my opinion: Dark, gray, yet also entrancing and mesmerizing.

Some of the songs like "Treasure", "Anthemossa", and "Silken Twine" are ideal tributes to the atmospherics of their ... Read More:

Letting Go of Stress

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
by: Steven Halpern, Emmett Miller

Release Date June 03, 2003
I enjoy the 4 tracks of relaxing scripts very much. The voice is very soothing, and the music compliments beautifully. The four tracks offer a nice variety of relaxation processes: body awareness, visualization, breathing focus, positive self-talk. The reason I gave this item 4 instead of 5 stars is because I actually find that sometimes the script is read too fast, I find myself falling behind, and, well, this stresses me out. I suppose as I continue to use this, I'll get better at it.

Sleep Soundly

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
by: Steven Halpern

Release Date October 29, 1996
I tried many CDs as I weaned myself off of sleep aids during a very difficult year. A lot of them had lovely music, some had delta and theta wave-stimulating tones underneath... but almost all of them had annoying variances in tone/volume. Music would crescendo and pull me back out of the dream-state I had just finally entered. This was the only CD I could sleep through the night with. I kept it on "Repeat" and listened to it every night for several months until my sleep patterns were restored. Later, I used it with my colicky baby, and have since given several copies to friends to try. It may not work for everyone, but it definitely worked for me.

Chariots Of Fire

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
from: Polydor / Umgd

Release Date October 25, 1990
The experts always remind us the the music supporting a movie should be subtle, understated and unobtrusive.

The soundtrack to Chariots of Fire not only meets and exceeds the above criteria it also stands firmly on its own.

This CD, I believe, would be a winner even if it had not been heard by millions the world over as part of their theater going experience.

Pop this disk into you favorite CD player, curl up in your favorite chair with a good book or magazine and let your ears become your source of relaxation for an hour or so. And, by the way, you may just see well conditioned and highly motivated men running on the beach.

Pure Moods, Vol. II

CD-Charts > Music > Electronic
by: Various Artists, Adiemus lll, Clannad, Craig Armstrong, Dave Koz, Delerium, Dream Academy, Loreena McKennitt, Massive Attack, Various Others

Release Date November 17, 1998
I'm not sure what must have been going through the minds of the record label when assembling this collection as a sequel to Pure Moods vol. I. Now granted, most of Pure Moods I is actually quite good and enjoy it though I don't think it stacks up to the "Earthtone Collection", "Elevation", or "Buddha Lounge" series nor warranted TV commercials. The second entry in the Pure Moods series is in my opinion, the most uneven and shakiest of the entries for several reasons, several tracks do absolutely nothing for me. "Nightingale" strikes me as meandering classical leftovers from a orchestral outtake. No offense but what on Earth is "Breezin" doing on this collection?! It's not a bad song by any means but it has absolutely no place on here and belongs on a smooth jazz ... Read More:

If you want music for relaxation, Deuter can't be beat -- and East of the Full Moon is another Deuter classic. Beautifully conceived and realized, this CD is one I return to again and again for a restful, reflective break.
