Album Description

As we explore the depths of our "self", our "souls", through massage, relaxation, and other healing modalities, we gain experience and knowingness. The music from Detaching The World Vol. 1 is a transient, which allows for this knowingness to occur in a peaceful, tranquil, and comforting environment.

This CD has been created to provide over 60 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. Emil Gagliardi has introduced a new style of guitar called "The Nuit's Effect" named after its rich soothing textures and deep earthy tones. From the opening cut of "Tranquil Sunrise", Gagliardi's swirling guitar immediately sets the perfect mood for massage and relaxation. The density of "The Valley Beyond" swallows you up in a tapestry of color similar to a warm blanket while the hauntingly beautiful "Fallen Angel" resembles a fresh new day after a storm.

Gagliardi's vision of creating the perfect massage and relaxation music sets Detaching The World (Vol. 1) apart from all others. Its purpose is to serve gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

1 out of 5 stars Detaching the World Vol 1.......2007-06-27

I purchased this CD based on the reviews alone,In comparison to other meditation Cd's I own; this CD ranks far below.The music is in my opinion anything but relaxing.Not suitable for meditation.

5 out of 5 stars Promising Debut by Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi.......2007-05-23

Although guitarist Emil Gagliardi's debut CD was designed for massage, meditation, and relaxation, it is much more than that. The ambient release features soothing, New Age-style synthesizer sounds generated entirely by Emil's electric guitar. The result is not only a great therapeutic tool, but also a legitimate work of sonic art in the vein of Andy Summers' classic ambient guitar album, Mysterious Barricades. Emil Gagliardi is a guitarist to keep an eye out for. [...]

I have other "relaxing" CDs that really don't do the job. This one does. I actually bought it to listen to while I had some dental work done and it was very helpful!

I got this gift for my boss since he is always so stressed. He closes his door sometimes and pops in the Cd to relax. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars great work!.......2006-12-30

One of the most calming and inspiring cd's I've heard in a long time! I've always felt connected to the sounds of the guitar..now I can have the best of both worlds...guitar and meditation!

Album Description

In the second installment of the series, Connecting The Universe Music has released a new relaxing journey with Detaching The World Vol. 2 - Ambient music for massage/relaxation/meditation. Through exploration of the unconscious, this music was designed as an offering by the artist to bring about complete relaxation to the listener. It allows for the unknown self to awaken and remember with comfort and ease.

Musician and creator Emil Gagliardi brings to us nine new tracks with Vol. 2. This CD provides over 63 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. As the opening track "Peaceful Country" begins, Gagliardi's unique and inimitable style of ambient guitar immediately sets the tone for a tranquil relaxing atmosphere. On "Mirror", you feel yourself sinking deeper into the gentle hands of what the artist calls "The Nuit's Effect" while "The Fellowship" and "The Fellowship Reprise" are a meditation of three soothingly calm guitars journeying to the mystical unknown. "Hawaiian Compressions" is a three piece composition symbolizing the warming atmosphere of the sun while gently slipping into the earthy picturesque tones of "Healing Within". The last track, "Pulse", is the capture of a meditation right outside the artist's home where the ocean, mountains, and sky share one relaxed and rejuvenated heartbeat.

Emil Gagliardi continues to provide seekers of total relaxation with his unique and one of a kind style of music. As heard in the bestselling Detaching The World Vol. 1, his devotion to creating serene music for the healing arts goes unsurpassed by his peers. His music bestows upon the listener gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

5 out of 5 stars Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Dazzles on Second Album.......2007-05-23

Emil Gagliardi shows what he's made of in this spectacular follow-up. Laying down atmospheric riffs and hypnotic patterns against a backdrop of lush guitar-generated textures, Gagliardi creates canyons of sound that seem to come from the heavens and reverberate across a vast stretch of land beneath a starry expanse of sky. Combining the guitar stylings of Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, Allan Holdsworth, and even George Harrison, Gagliardi forges a unique and unparalleled style all his own. [...]

5 out of 5 stars serene ambient guitar to help aid a stressful mind.......2004-10-27

Lately I've been submerging myself in yoga, morning meditation, T'ai Chi, and massage therapy to help my mind, body and spirit cope with the loss of a loved one. My sister (who raves about this artist) gave me this cd on my birthday in hopes that it would aid through the grieving process and help me relax.

Soon after my birthday, I finally had an afternoon to do nothing but try and unwind. I took my portable cd player outside with this cd and lied in my hammock. A few minutes after hitting play, I closed my eyes and had the most intense visualizations. It was as if each note from this music embraced my soul and projected a movie of warmth and comfort in my eyelids.

A few hours went by as I lay in my hammock listening to this cd repeat over and over. The calming effects of this music, combined with the hammock, had relaxed me beyond words. It was as if the stress detached my world (no pun intended).

As I look through the liner notes, I notice that this entire cd was created with guitars. Never in my life have I heard guitar sound so angelic and peaceful. All of this cd is great, yet the piece of music that comforts my heart the most is Pulse. Pulse has a calm heartbeat sound with this airy guitar melody that dances gently through the notes. Absoulutly beautiful!

I am bringing this cd to my next massage appointment in hopes that my therapist too will feel the heavenly ambiance that this music provides.

5 out of 5 stars My client's favorite pick for bodywork!.......2004-06-06

Just got volume 2. Delicious! What an encore. Nicely divergent from Volume 1. It seems to be more 'grounded' than the prior work but still retaining the flavors of space. You can tell this artist respects the delicate atmosphere needed for massage. This cd is successful with a client who is beyond picky with his musical choices during our sessions. Muchas gracias!

5 out of 5 stars the most creative musical journey.......2003-12-15

Having had so many incredible experiences listening and working with Detaching The World Vol. 1, I purchased Vol. 2 without hesitation. Although different from the first CD, the musicians style of meditative guitar transforms me and resonates with me similiar to Vol. 1. It seems as if the music puts me in a trance sending me to another place - a place where everything is calm and nothing can go wrong. My thoughts disappear and I capture the importance of being in every moment. This CD is mellow enough for deep relaxation yet also great music to play in the car on a long roadtrip. Either way it is definitely a journey that everyone should experience. I also find it important to listen from beginning to end without stopping - each track almost leads you to the next. It's as if a story is formed in track 1 that sends you wanting to know more in track 2. This continues until the "grand finale" which is a "heartbeat"-like song - sending you immediataly inward on your own journey. This is a beautiful CD.

This music is so exquisite it brings tears of joy to my eyes. I have never been so moved. Wonderful for meditation or just relaxed enjoyment. A singer with perfect pitch and an enormously talented composer. This beautiful music will take you into presence.

5 out of 5 stars Heavenly.......2007-03-10

Singh Kaur's heavenly music is the perfect antitdote to a busy and stress-filled day. I easily come back home, to my most shining self, when I listen to her other-worldly CD.

5 out of 5 stars Equisite and Filled Eternal Bliss.......2005-10-12

Just exquisite! I love Singh Kaur from her Crimson Series releases and absolutely adored her previous collaboration with Gary Stadler on "Fairy NightSongs". But this new release fills me with such joy and wonder and opens my heart in a way that I have never experienced from music before. Singh Kaur's voice is radiant and pierces my soul with it's devotional passion and tenderness. I feel blessed to have found this magnificent piece of music. Thank you, thank you, thank you Gary Stadler for bringing Singh Kaur's final musical gift to us all. Many Blessings.

5 out of 5 stars All Pain And Sorrow Depart.......2005-09-14

As I've mentioned elsewhere I have a deep, visceral reaction when I hear Singh Kaur's voice. Suddenly I stop for a moment, as the wise say, my mind opens, and I remember that the problem isn't me, the problem is my reaction to the problem. This dates back to my first discovery of her series of chants done on the independent ?Invincible label with Kim Robertson on harp. This Crimson collection, her final recording, is the closest thing to healing music that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, the set has to be sought out or ordered, and many people simply have never heard what is one of the most powerful voices in new age music.

I don't know if I can put my finger on what exactly is it about her singing that does this. The Spark in the Night, the first cut on this album is a reworking of an old melody of hers. The simplicity of her voice, the purity of her tone fits right into the music. As her singing matured, her voice gained coloration, and this song works not simply as and easy melody, but it reaches the listener emotionally as well.

Most of the album (43 minutes) is spent on the title piece, this universe. Combining wit Gary Stadler, Lisa Lynne, and several others, it is meditation music perfection. While anything of this length is going to be repetitious, Singh Kaur manages to vary dynamics, rhythm and color so that even the repetition is soothing. This is no small accomplishment in a world where many people think that meditation music should be electronic choirs droning over electronic strings. Singh Kaur is never hackneyed.

Rather than drone on about Kaur's talents, I suggest that, if you are looking for the narrow path to inner quiet, you stop a moment and listen for yourself.

I normally do not review CD's but this one begs to be reviewed. This 2 CD set does not lie; it is some of the most relaxing music in the universe. I will not do a separate review of the other 2 CD set, More of the Most Relaxing New Age Music in the Universe, as it is equally good and relaxing. They seem to be all by Japanese artists, so you get a oriental feel in all the songs. I like it.

2 out of 5 stars "Relaxing it's not!".......2007-02-01

If this album is relaxing then I suggest the creater of the title, "The most relaxing New Age music in the universe" either never left the farm or is so hyper a drum and bugle corp would be relaxing.

I am very dissapointed.

As bland as white bread. It is a misrepresentation to link this series of 3 CDs in any way to the Buddha Bar CDs or the chillout music category in general. It could play in the background without anyone ever raising their head or moving their body. If your thing is New Age music this might be for you. Everyone else is forewarned.

5 out of 5 stars The Buddha-Lounge is a cosmic destination !.......2002-10-15

I bought this CD on-line initially thinking it was exclusively a Daivd & Steve Gordon title. I love their native influenced world music titles. Imagine my surprise and elation when I found out that not only did this CD contain a great track form the Gordon's but also 12 other tracks from various established and new Sequoia artists including contemporary Celtic artist Gary Stadler with amazing vocalist Stephannie and the magical music artistry of Zingaia. I was completely blown away not only by how each track of this CD is perfectly sequenced with the others but the amazing array of world -beat sounds from some incredible new artists I've never heard of before. In particular tracks #3 "Abo Daylight" from Althea W. and track #12 "Glass from Jasper" by Roedelius were extremely lush and stirring tracks. The entire CD is very upbeat and uplifting while still remaining soothing and relaxing. I find it to be great ambient music for just relaxing around the house or dancing joyously with my partner. An extremely beautiful mix of musical artists and a great CD !

"When music transcends me to a place that is magical, I truly succumb to it. I am a mother of 3 young teenagers and when I want to relax, I immediately listen to Buddha Lounge. This title has virtual lounge rhythms and techno beats that has relaxing and "smooth" sounds. It is modern mellow music integrated together. Believe me, after a very hectic day, I feel rejuvenated and revitalized after I turn my cd on to Buddah Lounge! I love it!" Jeanne/Fullerton, California

5 out of 5 stars The Buddha-Lounge is the Place to Be !.......2002-10-08

This is one of the most groovin' world beat lounge CD's I've ever laid my ears on. Each track is perfectly situated into the overall mix of these 13 tracks from a variety of hot new European artists including Roedelius, Alquima, Marcator, Peter Merenger and others as well as the best new tracks from top selling Sequoia artists including David & Steve Gordon, Gary Stadler with amazing new celtic singing sensation Stephannie and a hot new track from Zingaia. The overall effect of this dancable world-beat title absolutley is hypnotic. It's great to slip on the headphones and drift into it or as ambient for your next smart-drink cocktail party. Each track expertly blends a spiritual vibe with techo world-beat grooves to produce a consciousness exhalting and joyful musical celebration. The Buddha-Lounge really is the place to be !

Product Description

Composer and musician Emil Gagliardi presents six soothing new tracks of ambient meditative guitar music for the critically acclaimed Detaching the World CD series. Detaching the World (Vol. 4) provides over an hour's worth of delicately crafted continuous ambient guitar compositions. This CD, as with all CDs released by this artist, contain no: fast tempos, fluctuating volume changes, synthesizers or percussion. This music is meant to embrace the listener's soul with the artist's interpretation of unconditional love (through ambient guitar) for all that choose to seek it. Detaching the World (Vol. 4) is highly recommended for massage and spa, meditation, reiki, hypnotherapy, yoga, relaxation and pure enjoyment. Total run time: 62:20. As Trickle Down begins, an acoustic guitar mimics a gentle mid-winter snowfall while a soft acoustic melody represents the indefinite placement of snowflakes trickling through the sky. Clouds holds true meaning to the name, like a timeless shift of the soul floating seamlessly through eternal atmosphere. The unmistakable trio blend of guitars on the picturesque Midnight Moon carries us deeper into the artist s nightly vision of a full moon evening on the calm sea (see cover photo). Tribute (to Sam and Sammy) is a beautifully acclaimed artist representation of the soul's crossover to the other side. The unfettered Native Land is an offering to the spirit of the Abnaki people who once inhabited the coast of Broad Cove, Maine (where Detaching the World Vol. 4 was recorded). Peace perfectly sums up this recording with intricate layers of blissful harmonic guitar work requesting a prayer for... Detaching the World (Vol. 4) provides massage therapists, yoga enthusiasts, healing arts professionals and seekers of total relaxation with a unique attractive approach to relaxing ambient background music. Emil Gagliardi's intricate guitar work bestows upon the listen

5 out of 5 stars Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Comes Full Circle.......2007-06-25

In the fourth volume of his Detaching the World series, ambient guitarist Emil Gagliardi pulls together the experimental pastiches and sonic vignettes of his previous three installments into a unifying whole, resulting in his first presentation of complete songs with distinct melodies and a beginning, middle, and end. The effects-laden signal processing of Gagliardi's electric guitar fills in the background, while Gagliardi's acoustic guitar expresses his musical musings in the foreground. The artist's future recordings are highly anticipated.

5 out of 5 stars ...a CD review from a client's perspective..........2007-05-17

I just came back fresh from my weekly massage session and felt the urge to write a review of Vol. 4, DETACHING the world. DETACHING the world has become a vital element in developing the peaceful and relaxing background setting for my regular weekly massage appointment. I usually play this disc in the car in order to prepare my mind, body, and spirit to fully receive a relaxing massage. Even playing the music for 10 minutes prior to my appointment helps me focus and relax.

Musician Emil Gagliardi has found this magical balance between complexity and simplicity with his composition styling and guitar performance. The intricacy of his music is presented in a rich, beautiful, and relaxed layered sound that isn't demanding or boring. During the massage, it engages me, the client, to focus on the bodywork I'm receiving without any unwelcome interruptions. In the past, I've had therapists use other music that's kind of relaxing but always has that 1 or 2 tracks to offset my center. You won't find this happening on Vol. 4. The music blends together so well that it's hard to tell when one selection ends and the next begins. I do know that from the beginning track to the ending track, the music gets deeper...and deeper...and deeper...kind of like a journey.

The first two tracks (Trickle Down and Clouds) immediately pull my body/mind/spirit into the massage and allow me to focus on the work being given. Midnight Moon, Tribute, and Native Land draws the atmosphere deeper which matches the hands on work perfectly. Honestly at this point in the massage, everything blends in so well together that I'm in another realm. The euphoric Peace wraps up the session and holds the atmosphere in a refreshing relaxed state.

After today's session, my therapist (who also owns this disc) and I briefly discussed how great this music is for massage. I relayed how her touch matches the music and brings out these great visuals and colors. She was telling me how this disc and Vol. 1 are both magical in creating that perfect balance of energy in the room. I couldn't agree more. If you're looking for a new style of relaxing music, look no further... Vol. 4 is magical, beautiful, and very different from the norm.

5 out of 5 stars GET READY TO ENTER A NEW WORLD OF MUSIC FOR MASSAGE .......2007-04-24

I found this cd Detaching the World Vol. 4 at the Canyon Ranch Resort in Tucson. After receiving one of the most cleansing and purifying massages ever (while this music was playing in the background), I couldn't help but think of how wonderful it would be to add this cd to my practice. After my purchase, I listened to it for almost a week strait before returning home and trying it out on clients. As a full time massage therapist, this cd has played during many sessions, providing a peaceful, relaxed setting with the music. As most lmts know, it can be very frustrating finding that happy medium of music that connects clients and therapists. I will tell you that the purifying cleansing deep guitar notes on this cd will not leave you or clients dissapointed. This one's a keeper!

4 out of 5 stars a wonderful addition for relaxing music , for your library........2007-03-26

I love the music of the guitar in this cd, it is just what I need after a hectic day, and when I just want to unwind, and let my mind think beautiful thoughts, and go to a place where I can just let go, and rest.

2 out of 5 stars Not as I had hoped........2007-03-21

Regrettably, I am not qualified to rate this work as I never made it past track 2. I feel obliged to comment however, since there is no opportunity to sample tracks at this writing. If you are attracted to the "no synth" billing , read on. If you like that popular woo wooo woo sound, please disregard my rating and support this artist. Notably, there is a predominant use of electric guitar, manipulated through an amp.( eg: on track 2 a "goosed" sustain rather than a natural decay) I experience this somatically as nauseous and disorienting and would never introduce it to a therapeutic session. That effect-making is not what I anticipate from "ambient" guitar. ( Ambient meaning on both sides or surround sound ) I have been fooled before and was fooled again, but if you want natural acoustics (which I find can offer an opportunity for energetically grounded expansion), I can spare you the disappointment. It only takes a minute or two for a client to say "could we listen to something else?", so 2 tracks is enough for me to base my impression on. I'm resuming my good old practice of choosing not to purchase any cd I have not yet heard . Respectfully~~ Kirsten Wiberg lic.CMT

Album Description

It's a new beginning with this third installment in the Detaching the World series. Musician Emil Gagliardi has written these compositions to reflect a unique inner journey, a style often described as meditative guitar. This music creates a peaceful, soothing environment for massage, relaxation, meditation, and yoga.

Detaching the World Vol. 3 provides over 60 minutes of continuous comforting ambient guitar work. As with all cds releases by this artist, there are no: fast tempos, fluctuating volume changes, synthesizers or percussion.

At the start of this journey, we come across the first composition; a 25 minute piece entitled A New Beginning. You hear an immediate gentle wave of music as the tone is set in favor of listeners requesting a blissful atmosphere for massage and relaxation. Throughout A New Beginning, the ambient landscapes of guitar change as if the artist is! taking us on a special calming voyage away from the mind and toward the heart.

Motions is a perfect example of meditative guitar as Detaching the World takes you deeper into a meditative state. The listener can hear a warm background melody weave in between each tranquil note giving the textures of the song a levitation type feel.

As we embark on the leisurely gentle Comforts of Home, this piece portrays a special improvised feeling of calmness as if the artist just took us in from a cold day, sat us down by the fire with a warm blanket, and handed us a cup of tea.

The latter leads us into Spring, a uniquely creative composition symbolizing a change within the musical climate of this work of art. The magic of Spring is meant to remind listeners of the special atmosphere needed to receive massage. Each tender note is meant to melt away anxiety and stress.

In this ever changing world of music, Detaching the World brings massage therapists, yoga instructors and seekers of total relaxation world wide to a new dimension. This music bestows upon the listener gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

5 out of 5 stars Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Creates Cosmic Sounds.......2007-06-03

Ambient guitarist Emil Gagliardi calls his independent label Connecting the Universe Music, and this CD truly has the feel of a personal and instant connection to the cosmos. The album starts off ambitiously with big, dreamy, and mysterious chords that engender intimate reflection of both the internal and the external, and perhaps even the dimensional. From there, the CD continues a kaleidoscopic journey of piercing string plucks, bagpipe-like tones, and sprightly harmonics. By the end, the spacy, floating wah-wahs will have the listener drifting away on clouds.

5 out of 5 stars Great Gift for The Boss.......2007-02-14

I gave this to my boss for a present and he loved it. What a great way to get the Boss to be calm and happy.

5 out of 5 stars A favorite pick for my clients and myself.......2006-03-25

This cd should be in the 'Massage Music Hall of Fame'. Over 60 minutes and truly divine.

5 out of 5 stars Another great release from the series!.......2005-04-20

There's no question about it - five stars for this new volume in the Detaching the World series! I have a massage and polarity therapy practice in which this music is perfect for. My clients comment that the music definitely adds to the goal of achieving balance and total relaxation within. It's calming, soothing and peaceful in all the ways it should be. I often have trouble finding such even and well balanced music for my practice but this series is a great find. Currently I have Vol. 1, 2 & 3 of the Detaching the World series and will keep an eye out for more. They create the perfect atmosphere and assist with the healing intentions of my work. I highly reccomend Detaching the World music as a whole, but I think that Vol. 3 is my favorite of the three so far.

5 out of 5 stars A wonderful well balanced accompaniment to massage .......2004-12-18

I recently purchased Detaching the World's volume 3 cd at an AMTA annual event held in Boxborough, MA. In the exhibit hall I noticed the record label had a booth promoting the third release from this artist. Me being an avid fan of the artist's work, I immediately stood in line to have him sign my new purchase. Even though the booth was swarmed with other therapists requesting signed cds and asking a ton of questions, he had this ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. This composure he showed embodies in the music he creates.

Detaching the World volume 3 is a luscious beautiful compilation that flows extremely well with massage. It is well balanced and matches perfectly with the energy work I give. Each song seems to stream into one another without any loud volume changes or increased pace. Even though this cd is my new favorite in the collection, I would highly recommend the entire series to any therapist looking for soothing background music as an accompaniment to massage.

Album Description

Serene waves of crystal bowl tones echo the beautiful musical harmonies of the constellations that Pythagoras called the 'Music of the Spheres'. CHORDS OF THE COSMOS fine tunes our entire body to the musical order of the universe with a deeply healing sound journey around the zodiac wheel. This first-of-its-kind recording provides a new level of therapeutic sound with harmonic chords for each astrological sign. It facilitates the alignment and balancing of the chakras and the auric field. The perfect healing companion for meditation, joy, massage and all healing arts.

"Deborah Van Dyke is a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. Chords of the Cosmos is a set of 12 deep overtone compositions tuned to the signs of the zodiac and Pythagorean progression. Each piece is designed for Chakra meditation to balance a specific body part. Meditation with this CD aligns listeners with the resonance of the cosmos.

This disc is pure overtone bliss. Deborah's techniques on the bowls are flawless. There is no need for looping, layering and/or processing. The bowls' natural overtone properties simulate those effects and stimulate introspection, relaxation and healing. Deep listening is a wonderful experience. It allows listeners to go to their "happy places" for ultimate relaxation.

This is a special CD from a special lady. It is the overtone CD among overtone CDs." Jim Brenholts, Music Reviewer

4 out of 5 stars I liked it, but this is not for everyone!.......2004-12-30

I have done exercises of toning in the past with Quigong, and this was very similar for me. I found the tones beautiful and melodic, and simply that, sustained and harmonized tones. If that is what you are looking for, then yes, you may indeed enjoy this. While I don't know whether the cords used are balancing for the zodiac or of the areas mentioned, I do know that I liked the meditative properties of the drawn out harmonies for myself.

This album though, is not for everyone. The pieces here might be compared to the musical sounds made by a harmony of fine crystal glassware at dinner. For some people this style of sounding may be annoying at best, and unpleasant at worst. If you are looking for clear crystal harmonics, you may very well enjoy this CD. If, however you are looking for soothing, musical composition I suggest checking out some Dean Evenson and passing on the Crystal Bowls.

My advice: always listen to a few of the provided samples first. That is what they're there for!

5 out of 5 stars each tract a meditation.......2004-08-16

I think that Chords of the Cosmos is a wonderful resource for anyone seeking sustained meditative work. I also study astrology and enjoy selecting sequences of the different tracts to 'tune in' to the various notes revealed for each sign or season, what a great way to open one's consciousness to the subtle music of creation! And because a whole tract is dedicated to each zodiacal sign, one can create meditative 'sessions', such as for the four elements, the three qualities, or any array thereof.

Another example would be to arrange or program the tracts into the Chaldean order of planets (based on the signs that each planet occupies within one's own horoscope) to feel the flow of harmony or changes from the Sun to Mercury and Venus to Earth (the sign opposing the 'Sun Sign'), followed by a rendezvous in the sign of the Moon... then meditatively guide one's consciousness outward through Mars to Jupiter and Saturn using the harmonies of these signs of the Zodiac. As the Sun is the "heart" of our solar system model, this meditation could be considered a "heart-centered" approach for guiding the flow of consciousness from the source of light and warmth and then outward through each planet... and back again!.

The chord arrangements for each sign are beautiful, each tract is a meditation in itself!
I've read how Pythagorus studied number and notes with his monochord, how Einstein would play his violin for inspiration while solving his equations. _Chords of the Cosmos_ makes it possible to engage in similar meditative journeys, the possibilities are endless. With this gift one can literally craft their own meditative vehicle through the beautiful vibrancy of the crystal bowls, played in layers of harmony to resonate with the seasons of time.

5 out of 5 stars EXPLORING INNER SPACE.......2004-08-06

Pythagoras, Rudolph Steiner and other leaders in the field of consciousness have all talked of the connectivity between outer space and inner space, the macrocosm/the microcosm. Chords of the Cosmos is unique in its use of musical triad chords created with crystal bowl tones, that mirror the tones of the constellations.

Make no mistake, this is a seriously therapeutic CD, not intended for mere listening pleasure, although the serene, perfectly tuned chords are beautiful indeed to hear. But there is much more to this CD, that, to the uninitiated ear, may not be appreciated on first listen. Anyone interested in deepening their meditative experience will find immense value in using this CD to fine-tune their body instrument. And the more one works with it, the further one goes. Within the first five minutes I slip into alpha state and thereafter, far beyond.......

Chords of the Cosmos creates a bridge of tonal sounds that enable you to experience the subtle fields of energy of the constellations, while simultaneously accessing the deeper fields within your inner space. A remarkable tool for higher consciousness and healing!

1 out of 5 stars Should have listened for myself before purchasing.......2004-05-18

Should have listened for myself before purchasing the special price package. Traveling The Sacred Sound Current is pleasant and Chords of the Cosmos drives me and others who heard it... nuts.

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL CD.......2004-01-02

I do listen to this recording at least once a day - sometimes with headphones, sometimes I just let it play in the background. When I listen to it with headphones, I feel the sounds reverberating first in my head and then spreading throughout the rest of my body, re-arranging, harmonizing and aligning my energy field and by body from the top of my head, all the way to the tips of my toes. Then, I feel ready to embrace the day, balanced, nourished, strengthened.

On the track See, My Love - Andreas Vollenweider, near the end of the track there is a very noticeable error in recording, sounds like a microphone drop, several times and is loud and destroys the quality of the recording.
I have heard of scratches but not microphone drops....maybe just my copy
maybe not, otherwise the album was perfect. In addition the album cover correctly lists (spelling) the artists name, but on the cd as it shows the tracks on my pc, that track shows a mistyped name for this artist. Unusual....

    Album Description

    Yesterday's Universe continues to expand with astral speed. Since their first appearance on wax with 2000's Elle's Theme EP followed shortly thereafter by their debut LP, Angles Without Edges the group of esoteric jazz cats that make up Yesterdays New Quintet started a revolution of dusty, hazy, jazz instrumentals with a hip-hop sensibility. With mastermind producer Madlib leading the way, each member of the combo went on to record his own solo album or start his own offshoot project all within the Yesterdays New Quintet family. With Yesterday's Universe, Madlib collects his favorite unreleased tracks from the Quintet's many incarnations.
