Musical Healing
"Profoundly relaxing and spiritually uplifting, Musical Healing is a journey to the healing heart." --New Age Retailer Magazine"This is great music for both the body and the soul... a wonderful collection of inspiring meditation music!" --Thengore Mondalf - Im Rhythmus Bleiben"This lovely anthology of healing music is profoundly beautiful… induces a deep sense of calm and well-being throughout." --Carl McColman, Music author ofOkay, even though I listen to a lot of harsh Industrial music I have to have my soothing and calming music to balance me out. This stuff is great in assisting anyone in relaxing and relieving the stress of your everyday life and workweek. A sure fire cure for roadrage! This is great music for not only the body but the soul. These serene sounds include music created with voice, flute, harp, piano, guitar and lush nature sounds. As the label says it's great "for massage, yoga, meditation or any time you seek peace". "Monet's Garden, Part II" has a bit of bird calls as the main atmosphere mixed with harp and other instrumentation. "Secret Fountain" is composed of what sounds like a babbling brook, pan flute, bells, chimes and harp.The third track takes us to the wonderful vocals of Stephanie as heard on the Fairy Heart Magic CD. Her voice is nearly angelic, especially when combined with Celtic harp. "Twin Souls" is from a new Sequoia artist, Solaria. A very soothing and unique blend of guitar and harp which I hope to hear more from in the future.The Gordon's works as well as those of their fellow label mates continue to enchant throughout the disc. The Sophia track is comprised of piano and voice with what sounds like a quietly played sitar or similar instrument in the background along with tiny bells. Beautiful! "Dusk" is a combination of the birds of nature and piano mostly. I love the flute used on "Ancient Power". It gives it an overall Native American feel but very ethereal in texture. The Zingaia track "Breath of Passion" is from their first release Beneath the Veil and while completely different from their most recent release reveals a bit of India's texture with a beautifully ambient soundscape. I love their use of finger cymbals and string instruments, hand drums and synthesizers.Something about "Healing Passage" reminds me of medieval music with environments that I can't quite place. "Waves of Bliss" is very spacey, while "Healing Ocean" is pure ambience. Sequoia has put together a relaxing volume comprised of their best artists though this release doesn't even begin to reveal the capabilities of these artists. However I do believe that the tracks chosen very closely follow the theme of this release. Overall this creates a very gentle compilation of music which you will find very useful for the purposes described by the label. This is a wonderful collection of inspiring meditation music! --Latex Records, TG Mondalf
