Great soothing stuff...love it !!!Wednesday, August 11, 2004
karunesh's music is soothing and relaxing. It's the kind of music that soothes you after we have had our heart's content of enigma. Devoid of samples and mixing, this is a purely instrumental work with arrangements formed by synthesizers, percussion, wind chimes, Tibetan bowls, native or traditional instruments: flutes, tabla, African drums etc which intersperses with the synthesizers, percussive and bass instruments.
Basically this is a wholly instrumental effort as opposed to Karunesh's earlier offering "Global spirit". Global Spirit is his best though. I highly recommend karunesh. His music is peaceful, devoid of any strain, soft and soothing to the ear, and yet it demands attention as it is vastly more arresting and lyrical compared to simple background elevator music. His music not only builds mental pictures but also accentuates moods and most of all, puts you in that restful place beyond heaven. Also Karunesh has the ability to fully change an instrumental phrase and modify the music to give us lyrical twists and turns. His innovative and novel musical ideas delight our senses.
There's not a bummer on this whole CD. After you get used to the music in 2 stray hearings, this CD will continue to be in your player. You can crank up the volume and listen to it attentively or cut the volume down so it can serve as effective calming background music when you want to get down to some work but still want something playing in the background to soothe your nerves.
Thumbs up !!!
