History, Mystery

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Bill Frisell

Release Date May 13, 2008
Overview:
In History, Mystery Bill Frisell combines elements of the many different styles and genres he has dabbled with over the years into one cohesive story telling album. You can hear elements of Appalachia (ala The Willies), string orchestrations (ala Unspeakable), ambient soundscapes (ala Floratone), great horn lines (Blues Dream), African jazz (ala the Intercontinentals) and quirky odd Friselldoms (ala The Rambler). Basically Bill has gone into his bag of tricks and combined the many magical things he can do into one dreamy CD. At first listen it's a bit much to take in and for fans who are not wild about violins, the string orchestrations might seem a bit too far from jazz. However, after several listens the clever crafting ... Read More:

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
from: Reprise / Wea

Release Date November 20, 2001
Part of the reason of The Lord of the Rings movies success is due to the awesome score that Howard Shore has so magnificently created. A trully brilliant piece of art that pulls you into the world of Middle-Earth and keeps you there. You seldom hear genius any more, but this soundtrack is a stunning reminder that it still exists. The music raises its tempo gracefully with its drums without falling. It uses the choir and Celtic influences brilliantly. Each track fits the next like a hand in the glove. The music screams its power to submerse you in the magic of the Lord of the Rings. It gives you the chance to feel like you really were there buried under the mountain resting for eternity. It makes you feel the sadness of the elves, great and eternal beings. ... Read More:

The Essence

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Deva Premal

Release Date June 01, 1998
For what it is, a meditation CD, this is a perfect offering. The lady's voice is incredibly beautiful, the melodies are haunting and uplifting, and the significance behind the words is both meaningful and calming. Though it is definitely repetitious, mantras sung over and over, I have listened to it probably 50 times so far, know the words by heart, can sing the harmonies to her tracks, all levels, and find it lends to repeated hearing. I first heard it played very softly at my yoga class, and it caught my attention enough that I asked about the artist, then ordered the CD for myself. I love it. I come back to it again and again, for stress relief, for the energy boost that comes from the music but also upon consideration of the meanings. It's ... Read More:

Yoga Nidra Meditation CD: Extreme Relaxation of Conscious Deep Sleep

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati

Release Date November 11, 2003
Bought it last week. I must say I am very impressed with this DVD. I am one who has great difficulty in taking time for myself and relaxing. I have a lot of stress which has caused much heartache. My counselor has suggested I try meditation so I got this DVD. That night I used it and was very impressed with the instuctors smooth clear voice. It is a very guided meditation that concentrates on body and breathing. When ever my mind started to wander, it helped a great deal in helping me to concentrate on me and breath. I was able be concious but be in a deep relaxed state. It helped me to release thoughts and stressers in a concious manner yet I was able to remain in deep relaxed state. I felt it also brought clairty to things that were causing the stress.

Isabliss

CD-Charts > Music > New Age
by: Amethystium

Release Date June 17, 2008
It has been awhile since I listened to Amethystium. I admit I only own the first Amethystium cd ODONATA which I love. I finally am starting to play catch up with the new cd ISABLISS. ISABLISS is pure bliss for my ears. The blend of new age and ambient music, coupled with ethereal female vocals made ISABLISS an intoxicating listening experience for my ears. I find the music has a particular calming and soothing effect on me after a long day at the office. The mix of ambient, new age, and pop music has a very dreamlike sound reminiscent of Sleepthief, Delerium, and Conjure one with a dash of classical music thrown in. I really like the inclusion of a couple of female singers. Stine Maria Langstrand, Lee Nisbet and Irina Mikhailova all have lovely voices. Their polished ... Read More:
