Hotel Tara 2 : The Intimate Side of Buddha-Lounge
"...a simply luscious collection down-tempo gems for your lounging pleasure, chilled to the point of transcendent bliss." --Music Design In Review"In 2002, Sequoia Records founders David and Steve Gordon began their Buddha-Lounge series of chill-out mixes. Showing no signs of slowing down, the Gordons have recently expanded their "nu-global" franchise under the Hotel Tara name. There are favorite artists from previous Gordon projects, including Opera-to-Relax with the slowly swinging deep chill of "Fly!," Hands Upon Black Earth with the refreshingly funky, previously unreleased "In Between," plus Jaya Lakshmi, who sings her captivating ballad "Pancha Tattvit" over gentle acoustic guitars. If you're looking for soothing, mostly instrumental electronica that incorporates world-music influences, the Gordon brothers certainly don't disappoint (and they're also eco-friendly)." --globalrhythm.com"Worldbeat percussion legends turned creative mix-masters, The  Gordon Brothers, continue in Hotel Tara 2 with grooves from the coolest DJs  and artists...It is truly irresistible with lazy-edged lounging  pleasure...Tracks from Achillea, Jens Gad, Opera-to-Relax, MTC, and the  Gordon brothers...Mystical vocals, fluid electronica, ethnic  instrumentation, and hypnotic rhythms. Check into the Hotel Tara 2 for the  most luxurious vacation for your mind and soul!" --Peter Manzi, New Age Retailer, Play List, 2007Funky...in a real good way. This CD makes you want to move - I  mean hip gyrating, pelvic thrusting and arms open wide floating and swaying  kind of moving. I definitely have my favorites, but there isn't a song on  here I don't like. The Gordon Brothers are incredibly talented with coming  up with just the right mix. Kind of makes me want to go open my own club,  but then again, I don't have to, I have all the music I need right here. --The Pagan Review, September 2006New Age percussion legends turned creative mix-masters continue in  Hotel Tara 2 with grooves from the coolest DJs and artists, though  blissfully and considerably slowed down and relaxed compared to the first  release, for some truly irresistible and lazy-edged lounging pleasure. The  12 gems highlight tracks from Achillea, Jens Gad, Opera-to-Relax, MTC, and  the Gordon brothers. The tracks seamlessly blend mystical vocals, fluid  electronica, ethnic instrumentation, and hypnotic rhythms. Check into the  Hotel Tara 2 for the most luxurious vacation for your mind and soul, and  turn your customers on to this sexy and seductive piece of global  electronica. --Peter Manzi, Play List, 2007
