"Live at the Acropolis" (10/11/2005) New Age Yanni, Legacy RecordingsLIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS is available in CD and DVD versions in the boxed set YANNI: THE PRIVATE YEARS, which also includes the CDs IN MY TIME, REFLECTIONS OF PASSION, IN CELEBRATION OF LIFE and DARE TO DREAM. Personnel includes: Yanni (piano, keyboards); Shardad Rohani (conductor, violin); Karen Briggs (violin); Julie Homi, Bradley Joseph (keyboards); Ric Fierabracci (bass); Charlie Adams (drums); Michael "Kalani" Bruno (percussion). Recorded live at the Herod Atticus Theatre, Athens, Greece on September 25, 1993. Personnel includes: Yanni, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded live at the Acropolis in Athens, Greece on September 24th, 1993. Includes backstage footage and interviews with Yanni. Personnel: Yanni (vocals, guitar); Karen Briggs , Shardad Rohani (violin); Julie Homi, Bradley Joseph (keyboards); Ric Fierabracci (bass guitar); Charlie Adam (drums); Michael Bruno (percussion). Yanni has enjoyed sensational success over the past several years with his lush, densely layered, new age orchestrations. But the Greek keyboardist/composer's overtly romantic musings achieve a bold new dimension when augmented by a full symphony orchestra, and some of the more rhythmic elements in his music, previously masked under a wall of synthesizers, come to the fore--and the resulting music is much closer to progressive rock (and his own native roots) than new age. Thus we have distinctly Greek rhythmic cycles (in seven) keying the variations on the opening "Santorini" and "Keys To The Imagination," richly colored by percussion fanfares and instrumental breaks--demonstrating that the breadth of Yanni's music and his interest in popular forms is greater than many of his diehard fans have grown to expect. And on an arrangement like "The Rain Must Fall," Yanni frames his boleroesque piano shadings against a mysterious backbeat and fretless bass, which soon develops into--of all things--an R&B-styled slap bass groove. But those fans drawn to the purely lyric side of Yanni's art won't be disappointed by the composer's programming on YANNI LIVE AT THE ACROPOLIS. Such keyboard-inflected fantasias as "Reflections Of Passion," "One Man's Dream" and "Until The Last Moment" illustrate Yanni's sentimental yearnings, while the Oriental flourishes of "Swept Away" demonstrate why he's achieved such an immense following among adult contemporary listeners.

"Chakra Balancing: Body, Mind and Soul [Digipak]" (11/23/2004) New Age Chopra, Deepak, Tommy BoyIncludes an instruction manual. Personnel: Deepak Chopra M.D. (spoken vocals); Adam Plack (vocals, didjeridu, keyboards, bass guitar, percussion, sampler); Barry Heimowitz, Barry Heimowitz (nylon-string guitar); Tonia Plack (flute). Audio Mixer: Fran Cathcart. Liner Note Authors: Deepak Chopra M.D.; David Simon. Photographer: Albert Watson. Arranger: Adam Plack. This very nicely designed two-disc package combines soothing, atmospheric music with a guided, spoken-word meditation to increase awareness and align the listener's chakras, or energy centers that reside up and down the spine. The first disc, intended for massage, yoga, or quiet meditation, is music only, by producer Adam Plack. The music here combines textured ambient music, environmental sounds, and brief melodic passages inspired by jazz, pop, and world music. The second disc features Deepak Chopra speaking about the seven chakras: the body's energy centers that enable emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Chopra's talk is lucid and informative: he explains how our chakras regulate our life force, and how this force--when properly attended to--manifests itself in health and happiness. The music accompanying Chopra's meditation contains specific Sanskrit tones designed to cleanse the chakras, and clear the body-mind passageways for the free flow of energy. The lavishly illustrated and detailed booklet included in the set lays out the chakra purposes for further study. This fine package not only illustrates ancient Vedic and Tantric principles, but it offers practical, easy-to-understand alternatives for personal healing, inspiration, and transformation.

"The Soul of Healing Meditations" (11/20/2001) New Age Chopra, Deepak, Tommy BoyTHE SOUL OF HEALING MEDITATIONS contains music by Adam Plack with lyrics by Deepak Chopra. Producers: Deepak Chopra, Adam Plack, Donna D'Cruz. Includes liner notes by Deepak Chopra and David Simon. Audio Mixer: Yaron Fuchs. Deepak Chopra teams with Australian new age musician Adam Plack on The Soul of Healing Meditations: A Simple Approach to Getting Younger, which features eight guided meditations set to gentle, world music-inspired instrumentals. The appropriately airy synth washes of "Breathing Meditation" lead into the rhythmic, tabla-driven "Heart Meditation" and soothing atmospheres of "Body Awareness." Chopra alternates quieter breathing meditations with more mentally challenging, biorhythmic exercises for a completely relaxing and refreshing experience. "Envoking the Gods of Healing" and "Inviting the Spirit of Healing" feature particularly lovely, Indian-influenced instrumentals with hypnotic tablas and flutes; the album becomes increasingly world music-based until it culminates with "Ode of Solomon," which provides a sensual, reflective finale. With its extensive liner notes, which outline Chopra's philosophies about the gods and goddesses of healing, The Soul of Healing Meditation is a good way for meditation novices to explore this relaxing art. ~ Heather Phares

"Delta Sleep System" (05/15/2001) New Age Thompson, Jeffrey, Dr., The Relaxation CompanyIncludes liner notes by Dr. Jeffrey Thompson. Dr. Thompson has created music that is purely medicinal, in service of relaxation without any mysticism -- there's nothing new agey or easy listening about it. Ordinarily, you don't have to hand-tool music that will put you to sleep; any kind of music will do the job if you aren't into it. What matters is how you feel when you wake up. If your musical selection just lets your mind drift after dinner then wake up in time for Letterman, time's been wasted. But a recording thoughtfully designed to get you to sleep and to give rest is a different matter. To review such a project comes closer to consumer advice than aesthetic analysis, and so be it: this two-disc set is so effective that I haven't made it all the way through a single cut 'til the very last. The liner notes prove that the musical content is more science than art. But after the research, craft must follow, and Dr. Thompson uses plenty. In his thickly layered electronic fusion -- there are no vocals -- ambient keyboards do the work of a hypnotist's watch by focussing the ear at two or three chords per cut; NASA space recordings and natural sounds supposedly encourage a Delta sleep state. Admittedly, the last cut on disc two, "Primordial Sounds," creates an odd effect reminescent of Brian Eno's "Thursday Afternoon"; at a high volume it sounds like water storming through PVC pipes. But at a nice, low volume, every spacey effect does the job. The center of your chest relaxes a few moments into the first cut, then the space between your eyes. Then you awake, feeling pretty good. ~ John Young

"Amarantine" (11/22/2005) International Enya, RepriseLyricist: Roma Ryan. Personnel: Enya (vocals, various instruments). Audio Mixer: Nicky Ryan. Recording information: Aigle Studio. Photographer: Simon Fowler. Arranger: Nicky Ryan. After a five-year silence in the wake of her phenomenally successful release A DAY WITHOUT RAIN, Enya reemerged in 2005 with AMARANTINE. The singer knows better than to mess with a good thing, and all of the hallmarks of her sound are here: the evocative Celtic overtones, the symphonic arrangements and lush soundscapes, and the singer's pure, haunting vocals. Additionally, Enya's long-time creative sidekicks--producer arranger Nicky Ryan and lyricist Roma Ryan--are on board here too, and the time-tested results show. AMARANTINE, a poetic name for a mythical, everlasting flower, is an appropriate metaphor for the music. Luxuriant, mysterious, and with a deep aesthetic sense, Enya's music seems to surge and unfurl like a blooming flower. Fans who feared Enya may have lost her touch since this album's multi-platinum predecessor can rest easy. Atmospheric, stirring, and masterfully executed, AMARANTINE is as fully realized and accomplished as anything the artist has released.

"The Essence" (06/02/1998) New Age Premal, Deva, White Swan RecordsPersonnel: Deva Premal (vocals); Mite (vocals, guitar); Reiff Jr. (guitar); Maneesh (piano, keyboards); Raj Rishi (keyboards, drums, percussion). Includes liner notes by Deva Premal. Personnel: Deva Premal (vocals); Miten (vocals, guitar); Maneesh (piano, keyboards). Photographers: Taro; Sarjano. ESSENCE is the debut album of Deva Premal, the "Chanteuse of Chant," as she has come to be known to chant lovers around the world. Premal was born in Germany and was raised in ashrams in India. Miten, her collaborator and life partner, was a music producer who gave up his successful pop career for a more spiritual life, and who originally encouraged her to sing. Together they have taken the New Age music world by storm and ESSENCE is a shining example of that success. Premal's haunting vocals and smooth, deep delivery makes her a natural to sing these ancient and sacred mantras. Her appreciation for them is evident in her sincere, heartfelt delivery. This reverence is what allows Miten to take musical license with the material and create new, dynamic compositions out of age-old mantras. Their versions of such venerable titles as "Om Nano" and "Shima Shima" show their musical ingenuity, with Premal's transcendent voice performing over unorthodox rhythms and sensual drumbeats. The Gayatri mantra is possibly the oldest known devotional song, and Premal's version creates a timeless bridge between the ancient and modern worlds. Without losing any of its poignancy, Premal and Miten make this mantra relevant for a new generation of listeners. ESSENCE is the perfect accompaniment to yoga practice, movement and dance, or for simply listening to soothing sounds of bliss.

"Awakened Mind System 2.0 [Slipcase]" (06/29/2004) New Age Thompson, Jeffrey, Dr., The Relaxation CompanyThe Relaxation Company's Awakened Mind System 2.0 picks up where Dr. Jeffrey Thompson's original Awakened Mind System left off: this album consists of two half-hour ambient tracks with inaudible sonic pulses that allow the brain to think more deeply and creatively. An instructional booklet, which outlines the theories behind the music and how to use the album, is also included. Overall, this is a relaxing and (intentionally) thought-provoking collection of subtle background music. ~ Heather Phares

"Shanti" (2003) New Age Snatam Kaur, Spirit Voyage MusicPersonnel: Snatam Kaur (vocals, harmonium); Thomas Barquee (vocals, harmonium, keyboards); Zoran Todorovic (guitar); Aloke Dasgupta (sitar); Therese Wagner (flute); Domonic Dean Breaux (woodwinds); Satnam Ramgotra (tabla); Kevin Ricard (percussion). Audio Mixer: Thomas Barquee. Liner Note Author: Snatam Kaur. Recording information: Zen Den, Los Angeles, CA. Photographer: Andrea Marino. Arranger: Thomas Barquee. Fusing the spiritual richness and beauty of ancient Sikh chants--written by late 15th-century composer Guru Nanak (the first guru of the Sikhs)--with lush, contemporary Enya-esque production values, Snatam Kaur Khalsa's music is both spiritually enriching and moving, within a pop-music framework. It's a style not unlike Natalie Merchant or Sarah McLachlan, but it is rooted in more ancient traditions. This is the follow-up to Kaur Khalsa's premiere album, PREM, and features more of that work's elegant, simple compositions. Kaur's haunting voice answers herself in the chorus creating a hypnotizing, soothing, repetitive mantra-folk sound, over a rich accompaniment of tablas, acoustic guitar, warm gushing synth pads, and piano. In addition to its soothing meditative qualities, this album is also the perfect choice for relaxing by the pool, or slow dancing by a late night fire.

"Ocean of Mercy" (04/08/2003) New Age Lakshmi, Jaya, Sequoia RecordsPersonnel includes: Jaya Lakshmi (vocals, 12-string guitar, harmonium, kartals, shaker); Deva Priyo (sarod, flamenco guitar). Personnel: Jaya Lakshmi (vocals, 12-string guitar, harmonium, shaker); Daniel Paul (tabla). Audio Mixer: Justin Mayer. Audio Remasterer: Tim Gennert. Recording information: Haiku, Maui, Hawaii. Arranger: Jaya Lakshmi. OCEAN OF MERCY is the first solo album by Lost at Last vocalist Jaya Lakshmi. While Lost at Last favored more secular music, Lakshmi performs traditional Vedic chants in their original Sanskrit over a fusion of world beat instruments. In addition to tabla beats and the drone of a traditional harmonium, Lakshmi's music incorporates flamenco guitar and the sarod, an ancient Indian instrument similar to the mandolin. In addition to the eclectic musical accompaniment, the centerpiece of this recording is Lakshmi's soulful singing. Her voice illuminates these ageless mantras and sends the listener into a hypnotic groove of radiance and joy. After a few plays, the simple call-and-response style of this music is sure to provoke listeners to sing along. With her down-tempo, spiritual sound, it's no surprise that Lakshmi is revered among devotional chant devotees. Sensual and inspiring, this music caters to ecstatic dance, yoga, or just enjoying it for its unique beauty.

"Yogafit: Music for Slow Flow Yoga" (07/02/2002) New Age Various Artists, RavenDesigned to accompany a YogaFit-style class, MUSIC FOR SLOW FLOW YOGA is appropriate for any slow, meditative movement. The album, a collection of previously released Mirrors tracks, starts strong with "Stillpoint," six minutes of patented Gabrielle Roth slinkiness, perfect for warming up the body or for a centering, seated meditation. Tribal percussion and dreamy vocals kick in on "Oceana," and the next 60 minutes are devoted to the earthy, heavily percussive trance music for which the artist is celebrated. The final six minutes of the album, "Stillness," goes back to the pure tones of the first track, and is ideal for final savasana or meditation.

"Yoga Chill: Global Sounds for Yoga and Meditation" (04/22/2003) New Age Various Artists, Times Square RecordsIncludes liner notes by Sean Dinsmore. Personnel: Aisha Ahmad, Asha Puthli (vocals); Badal Roy (tabla); Niraj Chag, Sean Dinsmore (background vocals). Liner Note Author: Sean Dinsmore. Recording information: Groovaphonic Studio, Rome, Italy. This trance-minded, global-chill set makes a typical yoga session feel like a day at a trendy beachside spa. It's the perfect disc for yoga as the morning sun rises and the surf rolls in the background, even if such features are only in the awakening mind. World beats, indigenous voices, chants, sitars, flutes, bells, and whistles combine on "Nadia" by Nitin Sawhney. TJ Rehmi and Ravi Bal mix deep Banghra beats with wild snake-charming flutes on "Bajaman." The Dum Dum Project assembled this worthy collection and contributes two tracks, with a beautiful female voice invoking spirits over the smooth Goa Trance-esque tabla and chime samples. A second disc features a guided meditation by David Life and Sharon Gannon, the founders of New York's famous Jivamukti Yoga Center. As anyone who's been there knows, they provide much more than merely a guide through breathing, asanas, and chanting. A whole world-view, history lesson, pep talk, and mystical invocation is wrapped up in their session. It's accessible, inspiring, beautiful, and very hip. A Spanish version is also included.

"Love Is Space" (02/15/2000) New Age Premal, Deva, White Swan RecordsPersonnel: Deva Premal (vocals, tanpura); Miten (vocals, acoustic guitar); Ella Zarum (vocals); Jai Uttal (wooden flute, harmonium, dotar); Kit Walker (piano, keyboards, programming); Marquinho Brasil (percussion). Producers: Kit Walker, Miten, Deva Premal. Recorded at Freehouse Studios, Fairfax, California. Personnel: Deva Premal (vocals, tanpura); Miten (vocals, acoustic guitar); Ella Zarum (vocals); Jai Uttal (bamboo flute, harmonium); Kit Walker (keyboards); Marquinho Brasil (percussion). Audio Mixer: Paul White. Recording information: Freehouse Studios, Fairfax, CA. Photographers: Taro; Sarjano. Arrangers: Deva Premal; Miten. Often called the ?Chanteuse of Chant? by her fans, Deva Premal is a ubiquitous presence in yoga studios and spiritual centers across the globe. LOVE IS SPACE, the second release from Premal and her life-partner Miten, is a luscious treat of soothing vocals, surprising rhythms, and superb production. The couple met at an ashram in India so it is no surprise that all the tracks on LOVE IS SPACE are traditional mantras and Hindu chants. What makes Premal stand out among the growing field of chant music is her unique voice and Miten?s studio expertise. ?Om Shree Sache ? is a mantra usually chanted in a monotone with little thought to performance. Premal and Miten chose to record it like a great vocalist might, with breathy phrasing and unusual stresses swirling in atmosphere and the sound of a subtle rain stick. These liberties are exactly what make Premal so popular?and shocking. Traditionalists may find Premal?s adaptations scandalous, but most are won over by final result: reverent, beautiful music that holds true to the intent of the mantras. This music is excellent for yoga, meditation, and healing work in addition to listening for pleasure.
