About the Artist
John's story began in Canada were he was born and began playing guitar at age 9. Upon graduation from High School he began touring across Canada and the United States with various pop groups playing venues such as Harrah's in Lake Tahoe and the MGM in Las Vegas.

After several years touring North America John took time out and became immersed in studying his art form. He began private study with various teachers and later studied jazz at Capilano College, where he received a scholarship and graduated with top honors. At age 26 he began to study Flamenco guitar completely inspired by the teaching methods of Juan Martin and listening to the incredible sounds from Paco de Lucia, Paco Pena, Sabicas and many others. John spent the next 6 years studying Flamenco, practicing 8 to 10 hours a day and in 1995 won "Best Acoustic Guitar Performance" in the Music West Star Frets Competition, won Vancouver's Unplugged Competition in 1996 and in 1997 won as a finalist in Vancouver's Global StarQuest. During this time John was performing as a freelance guitarist for the Vancouver Playhouse, Michael Barabas, Radio Europe, Alyssa Nielsen, Mae Moore, etc... and began opening for pop artists like Sofie B Hawkins and world beat artists Strunz and Farah.

In May of 1999 John released his own independent instrumental cd titled "Freedom". Freedom was created to showcase his incredible guitar talents embracing the world beat musical elements of flamenco, pop, latin and jazz. Above all Freedom was recorded with the hope to share the peace, joy and excitement John feels when performing for audiences around the globe.

CBC Radio Canada is now playing Freedom nation wide along with various other world music/newage stations across the country. Mp3.com has included the song "Nachos" on this year's 2000 compilation cd and due to the music's increasing popularity John has currently been entertaining offers to perform around the world. John also performs with Vancouver's very exciting hot club gypsy jazz quartet "Gypsalero".

Product Description

AWESOME!.......2007-07-10

If you enjoy gospel music -- YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET! Elvis' incredible voice is perfect for the soulful lyrics. Plus he picks up the tempo on many of them making them sound more like rock. All of my favorites are on this 3CD set - so I'm very very happy that I bought it. I highly recommend it!

This CD is great!.......2007-07-07

Elvis sings gospel songs like no other! Some of the songs are a litte rough but you have to realize some songs were recorded in his home or at the studio while he is just playing around. The first disc is more of the released songs while some of the songs on the other CD's are live versions or unreleased versions with him laughing and talking. I thoroughly love this set!

Great gospel album!.......2007-07-05

I have always thought that Elvis' voice was never better than when he was singing gospel and this album proves it! Well done remastering, clear, very good sound. Absolutely a must for people who love gospel and Elvis!!

Different versions of this album available!.......2007-06-17

Just a quick note to let any prospective buyers know that there are different versions of this 2002 album out on the market; the one displayed here offers nine tracks (see full list above), while the one I received actually offers eleven tracks (as listed below):

- Inner Peace
- Travelling Among the Stars
- Angels of Peace (not included in the version displayed above)
- On Walden Pond
- A Touch of Grace
- Deep Peace
- Heartnotes (not included in the version displayed above)
- Sanctuary of the Heart
- Unknow Country
- Time Being I
- Time Being II (not included in the version displayed above)

The tracks that are obviously missing from this other edition are Faerie Ring and Inner Journeys. Also, note that there is actually a 1984 album from Steven Halpern with the same title (Inner Peace) which contains 13 different tracks, so it's quite easy to be confused about this...

Apart from this, the music is of course lovely. :-)

Relaxation music.......2007-04-11

CD cover was cracked but CD plays fine. Music is very relaxing.

Wonderful Introduction To Soothing Music.......2007-03-11

I've always enjoyed Steven Halpern and this album is no exception, but while reading some of the customer recommendations posted on this site I discovered a group by the name of M E H D I (pronounced meddie). After an online search I found their site (S00THINGMUSIC.C0M -type it in lower case) and listened to the samples...

I was instantly blown away by the quality of this music and so I gave it a try and now that I have listened to these CDs several times I really must say that although I'm still a Halpern fan, I find M E H D I to be a great addition to this CD. I have them both in my car multi-disc CD player and love the way they compliment each other. I highly recommend that you give these Instrumentals a try or at least JUST GO LISTEN TO THE SAMPLES, I have a feeling you'll be glad you did.

It is what the title suggests........2007-02-21

This is an excellent CD for doing Reiki, meditating, or just relaxing. Very, very nice.

Solid Work.......2007-02-17

This is a perfectly good body of work, however, for meditation, I need sustained sound. The fact that the songs end so often is off-putting and interupts the flow that one is trying to achieve while listening to music of this type. If the songs blended into one another, it would be a more invaluable addition to my collection.

Relaxation.......2007-05-23

Steven Halpern is the master of relaxation music. It feels as if he knows the secret code to relaxation. This is the same for all of his meditation CDs. Chakra suite is one of the best CDs in chakra series.

Great Music.......2007-03-13

Anything Steve Halpern creates is soothing and wonderful and this CD is no different.

Amazing.......2007-03-12

Absolutely love this CD....every track a joy and we listen to it daily.The tonal quality unbelieveable. Have purchased other CD's from this artist since this purchase. Will not disappoint.

Unwinding music.......2007-03-02

Excellent music to let your mind and worries wonder. I think it's his best. Great for meditation, relaxing, and just focusing on the core joy of being.

Chakra Suite.......2007-01-17

This cd of chimes and bells is an instant avenue to relaxation and meditation. It calms, soothes and balances our chakras. I've used it for myself to meditate and realign my energies; on my staff to calm them on a hectic night at work and over the loudspeaker for the patients to hear when they got up in the morning. It is healing music.

One of the fundamental criticisms of New Age music is that it puts people to sleep. Here, Steven Halpern, one of the founding fathers of New Age, makes that his mission and, as you might expect, does an effective job of it. Drawing on catalog material from the early 1980s, Halpern builds an attractive collection of delicate, lighter-than-air sonic textures that nicely serves the intended purpose--to fill the silence with something prettier than white noise. Halpern does so by blending electric and acoustic piano, plus additional keyboards, to create soothing, improvisational, cloudlike musical abstractions that often convey the tranquil randomness of wind chimes in a soft breeze. The liner notes also promise your subconscious will be exposed to a series of subliminal, sleep-encouraging affirmations along the quiet, unstructured way. This may sound like so much frou-frou to the unconverted, but for anyone sincerely interested in a sleep aid, Halpern's disc is a certified snoozer, a New Age music box. Other New Age discs may accomplish the same purpose as Sleep Soundly, but few will do it as persuasively. --Terry Wood

Customer Reviews:

Works for me!.......2007-03-23

I purchased this cd because I am a nurse who varies shifts (some days, some nights)and find that my sleeping habits can get very mixed up. I have recently begun to use this cd to help me sleep during the daytime if I am working that night. It works like a charm. The music is so relaxing and soothing. There are no annoying sounds that come out of nowhere. Like it says on the cover of the cd, you will never hear the end of the cd because you are asleep! I can vouch for that. I highly recommend this cd.

not sleepy enough.......2007-03-02

Too repetative, made me want to speed up the Brahams lullaby. Just made me agitated. However my 8 yr. old daught listens to it many nights a bedtime and loves it. I like his Chakra CD much better and find it more relaxing.

Great CD For Falling Asleep.......2007-02-09

We have purchased several CDs to help us sleep, but this one is by far the best. My husband and I was able to fall asleep pretty much before the first track is finished or at most the beginning of the second track. I don't think I can even recall what the third track sounds like... It plays Brahms Lullaby in several versions (trio, duet, solo) along with some other songs, but it does it in a way that is very soothing.
I have strongly recommended the CD to other family members and my collegues.

ZZzzzzz is right!.......2007-01-13

During the first 5 minutes I told myself this is rediculous how is this going to get me to sleep?

Well after another 5 minutes I checked out and went straight to dreamland.
I woke up refreshed and full of energy. I always suffered from not being able to fall asleep, worrying about little things. The cd is great, I can't hear my own thoughts.
I'm a dj and since using this cd my ears are no longer tired and I can mix my music properly. Love it

works wonderfully for the little ones too.......2007-01-12

We have had trouble with our 2 year old staying in bed. She seems to think night time is a good time to bounce off the walls :) We started playing this CD and within 2 nights she was sleeping soundly without trouble. She shares a room with her 4 year-old sister who loves the CD as well. She will ask to have it played every night. It is very soothing background music.

After five years on John Prine's Oh Boy label, Snider joined New Door Records, leaving behind unreleased demo and studio material at Oh Boy. Many artists, unsure of the quality of their outtakes and demos, resist releasing them, as the Beatles did until the Anthology series. Luckily, Snider helped compile this one, a collection of material (including a haiku) as powerful as his finished work. Beginning with a wonderfully loose rendition of his original "Nashville," one hears Snider's renditions of tunes he cowrote that were later recorded and released by his cowriters, including "Barbie Doll" and "Feel Like I'm Falling in Love" (Jack Ingram) and "Deja Blues" (Billy Joe Shaver). "Combover Blues" offers his satirical view of middle age. Ironically, "East Nashville Skyline," an outstanding performance featuring pedal steel legend Lloyd Green, didn't appear on the Snider album that used the song's title. The entire compilation reflects the raw immediacy of a field recording. In fact, that's what's endearing about it. Sometimes, even alongside a great studio performance, an earlier version, rough edges and all, packs a punch all its own. --Rich Kienzle

Customer Reviews:

The Dust Settles Just Fine.......2007-05-25

Normally when a package of this type of music comes together, it's usually when: A] an artist is deceased/dead, B] the record company is trying to milk the artist from an old record contract of product still owed or C] there isn't really anything for the artist to say anymore.

Thankfully, none of those are the case here. In fact, what Todd Snider says and sings here is simply, well, simple yet memorable. Not just the solor material, but the songs with help from Peter Holsapple [dbs], Jack "selling out" Ingram [okay, that wasn't nice], Keith Christopher [The Yayhoos], Craig Wright [Steve Earle], Tommy Womack [duh!]and more.

If this is Todd just dusting off his slew of one-takes and mishaps, then I want more. My favorite Todd Snider yet.

Rejects? No, treasures.......2007-04-08

Todd Snider's PEACE, LOVE AND ANARCHY is a collection of "rarities, b-sides, and demos" (Volume 1). Don't let that fool you...the songs you'll find in here could all have been put on Snider albums (hell, "Nashville" was, and others have been recorded by other artists). These are the kind of songs that just sit around and linger, until they get a record of their own; the result is a cohesive album that doesn't feel pieced together in the least bit.

A sarcastic version of "Nashville" (much more sarcastic than the version that appeared on EAST NASHVILLE SKYLINE) kicks off the album, which ends with the rockin' "Cheatham Street Warehouse." In between you'll find a whole slough of material that features Snider at his storytelling best. There are humorous pieces of course ("Combover Blues"), rockin' pieces ("Barbie Doll"), sad pieces ("Missing You"), thoughtful pieces ("East Nashville Skyline")...hell, there's even a haiku. The spoken-word "From a Rooftop" is a pure delight as well; not to mention the exquisite gospel number "I Will Not Go Hungry" and the Billy Joe Shaver co-write "Deja Blues." Let's face it--there's not a bad song on here. But that's Todd Snider for you.

The fact that most of these songs appear to have come from the EAST NASHVILLE SKYLINE project probably helps with the cohesion; not that this is a bad thing, because that album was arguably one of Snider's best. Really, none of the tracks stands out from the other, which is the way you want it to be. This is simply another great album in a long line of great albums from the incomparable Todd Snider. Let's hope there's a Volume 2 somewhere down the line.

Great as always........2007-04-05

Another great album by Todd Snider--and not the typical outtakes/B sides junk that other people might put on an album like this. Every song is excellent, and there are 2-3 songs here that rank among the best Snider has ever recorded. His version of Stoney is better than anything on the radio. Try to listen to it and not be moved. I dare you.

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute vacation, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds then Emmett Miller's soothing voice on this CD. Highly recommended!

The best I've ever encountered.......2006-07-01

This CD is the best I've ever encountered as far as relaxation CD's go. The first time I listened to Autogenic Stress Relief I was scared of feeling relaxed (because I don't know how to relax). The second time I was used to the process and it was wonderful. I can't brag on this CD enough. I can concentrate, I can focus, and I don't worry about things as much.

Beautiful Guided Imagery and Music.......2006-06-25

Emmitt Miller leads you thru four different relaxation sessions, each about 20 min. in length. His voice is very soothing and the background music is perfectly in tune with the guided imagery. The music is performed by Steven Halpern. I agree with the previous reviewer that the trip to the beach is the best one on the CD, but the others area very good too. You can use in the middle of the day or before going to sleep to aid in relaxation. Very much worth the money for this CD.

Please see my other reviews on Amazon.

The Ultimate Relaxation.......2005-02-27

Dear Friends,
I have been enjoying the use of this tape for many years. It has four separate 20 minute relaxation sessions on it. Some have muscle tension progressive relaxation exercises, which are fantastic. But my favorite session is "A Trip to The Beach." It is a guided imagery session that relaxes you, takes you on a trip to the beach, and guides you in seeing your body as healthy and strong. You can use this tape for an afternoon relaxation session, or you can use it as you go to sleep at night. Even though it will bring you "up" at the end, I have never had a problem just sleeping soundly through it when it is bedtime. I've used this tape when going through severe health challenges and stressful situations. My husband also enjoys listening to it at night. I highly recommend it.

Steven Halpern has more than 60 recordings in circulation, including audio projects ostensibly designed to enhance memory, wealth, and weight loss. He even has his own trademarked slogan--the Halpern Effect(tm)! (Take that, Mozart.) Thus, it's easy to view Halpern's high-volume output since 1975 less as art and more like a commodity. Gifts of the Angels, a 68-minute compilation (sampling eight albums and adding two original pieces), offers a few nuggets that suggest Halpern's music at times can stand on its own merits, detached from all of its deep-bliss, New Age pretensions. "Celestial Prophecy," is a nicely detailed (which is not to say complex) excursion on solo piano that briefly stirs the senses, and the title track from Higher Ground is a delicate space-music standout. Meanwhile, the 1970s-flashback tonality of Halpern's electric piano (one piece, "Earthrise," can be traced to Halpern's debut release, Spectrum Suite) dates several of the tracks included here. Nevertheless, the disc's pace, which drifts deeper into the ether on each of the last five tracks, is nicely constructed for those aiming to nod off into a state of contented nothingness. --Terry Wood

I have used this CD for TEN YEARS..........2006-12-23

As a massage therapist, this is the ONLY CD I have used consistently in my practice over the past TEN years. There is something about this particular CD that I absolutely love and that has not been duplicated in other CDs I have used (literally hundreds!) Steven Halpern comes up with awesome music! I have many of his other CDs as well, but NOTHING comes close to "Gifts of the Angels". I am now using my 3rd copy and will buy another when this one is worn out. Many of my clients ASK me to use it in their massage sessions and ask me where to find Halpern's music. Superb.

Welcome to the warm embrace of angels!.......2006-08-31

When much of modern day's rock music and the civilization's pressure on people's lifestyle has a stressful and bad influence on the well being Steven Halpern's music is a blessing. The Godfather and inventor of the New Age music that has a healing and relaxing purpose makes music that puts the body in it's own rhythm and leads into a state of balance and inner peace. Gifts of Angels does all this, but adds an extra dimension with its beautiful angel song, making this an absolute world class New Age album. The music puts the brain waves in an alpha state and sometimes my heartbeat even gets down to 40 beats per minute, leading to a sense of peace and relaxation at the same time as its get me ready to meet my everyday life as a more balanced and happier human being. To have the opportunity to lie down and do nothing, just listen to this beautiful music, and let it fill your entire body with peace and comfort is a luxury that I think every human being should have the opportunity to do and that everybody needs to do once in a while. Unfortunately many people don't have the knowledge about New Age and the way it helps us to a better life. Bands like Rush, Journey and Def Leppard gives us the rush and entertainment that we need to be energetic while going to the gym or driving the car fast on a sunny summer day. Steven Halpern's music gets the body in a state of balance and peace and helps us to get more concentrated and focused. The price of this CD is not just the price of another CD, it's an investment in a better life, like buying a miracle pill that gets you healthier and helps you get away from illness and an unhealthy life, a pill that never will end.

Gift of Angels.......2006-08-21

The music is just that! It sounds like you're in Heaven. Halpern scores again!

This is truly music from the angels.......2006-03-24

I listen to this CD when I am meditating and while I am taking a bath. It allows me to relax and truly be in a state of heaven. I love it.

life saving music.......2006-03-07

I did not expect this but I was really buying this for myself, turns out my daughter likes this at night so she can fall asleep. My daughter is 4 and very active, she never seems to know when to rest and relax.
I decided to play this one night just to ease the mood of the night and she was asleep by the 4th song. We play this cd every night. thank!, you thank!, you thank you!

I love this cd because now I can have her go to sleep at a time that is normal for her age instead of an adult time.

Thanks, I recommend this cd for every one that is tense and needs a good easy winding down. I love it

Whether Tom Cruise's portrayal of a 19th century American soldier cum samurai warrior will be remembered with the same pangs of pop-cultural bemusement that befell John Wayne playing Genghis Khan remains to be seen. But its musical soundtrack does mark an auspicious occasion: pop musician-turned-composer Hans Zimmer's 100th score since beginning his film career in 1988. A pioneer of fusing both the electronic and orchestral and the Westernized with the indigenous, Zimmer does both here with skill, drawing heavily on samples of the traditional Taiko (a massive Japanese drum) for its rhythmic action sequences, while constructing a melodic Western motif for Cruise's character that's both centerpiece and counterpoint for the score's transcultural intent. Aside from the brief, ominous thunder of the expected action/suspense boilerplate, Zimmer has constructed passages of gentle, Asian-inflected pastoralism that have parallels with much of his evocative work on The Thin Red Line. Those cues are the score's very soul, a canvas against which his more traditional themes reverberate all the stronger. --Jerry McCulley

The power of faith .......2007-05-29

Sweet as lotus flower, strong as a the solid rock of the paith, sharp as a samurai sword... close your eyes and live in an magic ancient atmosphere

This soundtrack...........2007-04-24

...is really amazing, so deep and great. The movie would never be so good without this great music.

Dances With Wolves in Japan.......2007-04-10

If you liked Dances With Wolves this is it in Japan - I do think it is Tom C's best movie. The sound track is excellent - Zimmer also did Batman Returns which has a fantastic soundtrack - Hans is comming on

A Diverse Score from the Land of the Rising Sun.......2007-03-02

I always love it when composers branch out and write music that you would never expect them to write, yet retaining their own trademark sound. Here, Hans Zimmer utilizes his own, recognizable sound, where you know it's him with eastern instrumentation, such as Taiko drums, the shakuhachi (a staple in Horner scores lately), and the koto harp. It's east meets west, a route in which Tan Dun took on in the film "Hero", and Zimmer's score follows many of those same musical ideas, only not quite as eastern sounding as Dun's score.
The main theme is a powerful 7-note anthem which tends to build its way up each time, as in "A Way of Life", "Spectres in the Fog", "Idyll's End", and "Safe Passage". You can tell it is a Zimmer theme just by its sound, but with the oriental flavor thrown in, it really adds to the mix.
The action music in the score is exciting with energetic Taiko drums keeping the pulse moving. They do not get tiresome, as you might think because Zimmer uses them more like a heartbeat, not a heart attack! "Red Warrior" is a powerful anthem, consisting of japanese warrior chants, which really add to the scope of the sound. Other noteworthy tracks are "Ronin" and "The Way of the Sword", which are enjoyable pieces of music.
I was pleased of the results of Zimmer's work here. It showcases Zimmer's diversity with his music. I hope he gets the opportunity to write more diverse scores such as this. The Da Vinci Code is certainly one of them!

One of the best themes ever composed.......2007-02-28

This soundtrack is brilliant, and Hans Zimmer even more. He is truly one of the great film composers. The Last Samurai's sounds never fail to draw emotion from me.

Outstanding CD.......2007-06-05

I can't say enough about this CD. It is great to meditate to. If you just want to take a 20 minute nap, it is possible with the help of Steven Halpern's music and sounds on this CD. I have it uploaded to my iPod and on a difficult migraine night I just pop the ear peices in and go to sleep listening to this over and over again on shuffle. Highly recommended!

Effortless Relaxation.......2007-03-11

This is a very relaxing CD. My husband and I play it while we are working outside or relaxing in the lanai and it fits perfectly with the nature sounds around us (birds). We also use it for background music when friends are over. Everyone enjoys it and wants to know what it is. It would be a great tape to play in the quiet of the evening to fall asleep to, or to play in a guests room for a relaxing ambiance. It is very well spent money. Thank you, Steven

Not very impressed.......2007-02-14

I got this CD with the hope it would help me relax while I meditate. I didn't care for it. Not my kind of music.

Relaxation!.......2006-11-03

I really enjoy every Cd from Steven Halpern, but this one is really my favorite. It always helps me relax and I use it a lot to drift off into a restfull sleep. I put my MP3 on shuffle because I always fell asleep and never remembered hearing the end of the CD. I would highly recommend this for relaxation. It really melts away the stresses of the day.

Unique, the Best I've Heard.......2002-09-08

Dr. Halpern's talents shine on this CD. I had many relaxation CD's, but after hearing this one, I threw away all but this one. Everyone needs relaxation for good health. This CD is the best of the best!

This mass, commissioned and performed by the superb 12-man American group Chanticleer, begins and ends with Plainsong, and is comprised of five movements by five different composers interspersed with shorter pieces by Carlo and Andrea Gabrieli and Carlo Gesualdo. Douglas J. Cuomo's Kyrie features the extreme ends of the men's vocal ranges and plays plainsong against tonal clusters; the Turkish composer Kamran Ince's Gloria is sung to a Sufi text and radiates peace; Shulamit Ran's Credo, in her native Hebrew and English, begins in a stunning martial outburst about the belief in one God and uses texts that relate to the Holocaust (occasionally spoken) to make her dramatic points; London-born Ivan Moody contributes a ravishing, medieval-tinged Sanctus, as ethereally lovely - and at points as stunningly wild - as his compositions for Trio Mediaeval; and the Irish composer Michael McGlynn's Agnus Dei begins as a solo in Gaelic, which is then underpinned with a drone in the darker voices and it ends, with grace, at a whisper. Perhaps the boldest music here is the Gesualdo, whose bizarre harmonies and discordances still can shock and awe, but the Chanticleer Mass, while not an overwhelming new work, is nonetheless, fascinating, and, as one might imagine, beautifully performed. --Robert Levine

Album Description

With its seamless blend of twelve male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, the San Francisco-based ensemble Chanticleer, celebrates the life of their foudner Louis I. Botto on the 10th anniversary of his death. Five composers create a mass that evolves organically, as if written by one hand and the ensemble brings it to life.

Sound Invention.......2007-07-03

As always, Chanticleer are the best mens chorus around today. They seem to be spending much of their time on experimenting with sound and doing it very well. This recording is more of that experimentation, so if you are looking for the usual gregorian chant, this is not what you want, but it is Chanticleer at their experimental best.

Powerful, ecumenical, moving........2007-06-02

After reading a positive article in the Wall Street Journal in May 2007 I was particularly interested in hearing this Mass, and didn't know Chanticleer had recorded it until a friend offered to lend me her brand-new copy after a three-for-two spending spree at the local brick&mortar bookstore.

This is an awesome recording, and I use this adjective without hesitation even though it's over-used and teen-speak. I'm surprised at the number of used copies available - perhaps buyers think that this is a warm & meditative piece and reject it when they discover it's not. It is most definitely not meditative - but it is instead a powerful discourse with God from Christian, Jewish and Muslim traditions. The liturgical setting unites it with traditional Mass settings and the music and text raise 21st-century - but also eternal - questions of faith, doubts - and hope. Five stars - no hesitation.
