Album Description

The sounds for this series were recorded in 3D by Chuck Plaisance. His recording system is designed to simulate human hearing, using a binaural head microphone to capture depth, height, width, as well as directional movement. No special equipment is needed to get 3D sound from traditional stereo speakers. In fact, these albums will make your system - speakers or headphones - sound like it never has before. You are the experience.

All pieces contain compositions of pure Nature Sounds produced, arranged, edited and mastered by Chuck Plaisance and Suzanne Doucet. (aka Virtual Audio Environment).

Customer Reviews:

Perfect To Fall Asleep To.......2006-07-20

I bought this CD because I didn't really know which type of sound I'd relax most too be it ocean, rain, forest, etc. Well I love all the sounds on this sampler, and I play it every night. My hubby says that 20 mins into the CD there's a rooster crowing, but I wouldn't know because by that time I'm already fast asleep. Great stuff!

3-Dimensional Pure Nature Sounds.......2005-11-21

This excellent compilation of 20 different Nature Sound albums was out of print, but is now finally available again through ONLY NEW AGE MUSIC(repackaged and remastered). This album creates a journey through different Nature scenes all recorded by Chuck Plaisance, with a special microphone that simulates human hearing. The sounds were then edited and composed, arranged and mixed like an orchestrated piece but still remain pure Sounds of Nature. Like Bernie Krause Doucet and Plaisance take essential Nature Sounds and recreate an ambience that takes you even deeper into the essence of Nature.

Soothing Sounds for the Stressed-Out.......2004-06-13

On the back of this CD it states this music is by "pioneer sound healers". I'm aware of the therapeutic effects that music can possess but I've never heard of "sound healers" before. I won't argue, I'll take their word for it. One thing I do know - this is incredibly beautiful and effective music for meditating, relaxing and falling asleep.

Some numbers contain the serene bliss of nature sounds right up front combined with soothing melodies while others keep the ocean, wind and whatever else softly layered in the background. A few more numbers are accompanied by whispery female vocals. All the tracks flow together nicely without any abrupt changes in mood.

On a few occasions I've listened to this CD while working on the computer - right now is a good example - and have noticed less tension in my neck and shoulders and my breathing slower and deeper. Anything that succeeds at the demanding task of coaxing my twitchy little brain into an even partial state of tranquility truly deserves my highest recommendation.

Musical Healing is Profoundly Powerful.......2002-11-05

As an energetic healer for over 15 years I am quite aware of the profound influence that subtle energies can have in terms of providing general healing effects. This release from Sequoia Records contains an extraordinary compilation of the most soothing and meditative tracks from the very best of their label artists, perfectly sequenced into a beautifully fluid and peaceful journey that uplifts and nourishes the soul. When I put this on for my client's sessions the music really assists in melting their tensions away and creates a wonderful sound environment within which to do my healing work. I especially like the two new tracks from the Gordon brothers, Healing Passage and Healing Ocean and was delighted to find Sophia's Sweet Surrender contained on the release. The CD is rounded out well with fantastic tracks from Gary Stadler (one of my favorite Sequoia artists), Zingaia and Solaria. All in all Musical Healing is an incredibly harmonious, gorgeously balanced and profoundly powerful album. Take two tracks and forget about needing to call your doctor.

Musical Healing is a Journey to the Healing Heart.......2002-01-08

This compilation album from the folks at Sequoia Records comes with several unexpected gifts, chief among them that the exquisitely sensuous singer Sophia has joined the Sequoia family. Her "Sweet Surrender" remains a particular favorite, and I'm delighted that it appears on Musical Healing. Other gifts include three previously unreleased tracks "Twin Souls" by Solaria, and "Healing Passage" and Healing Ocean" by David and Steve Gordon.
Many of the tracks on Musical Healing include lushly textured nature sounds with bird songs, waves, and running water weaving in and out. Gary Stadler, Stephannie, Zingaia and Deborah Martin all have tracks on the album, making Musical Healing a great introduction to the softer side of Sequoia Records. Flute, harp, piano, guitar and angelic vocals join the nature sounds, creating a stress-free atmosphere conducive to massage, meditation, yoga, Reiki, and other healing modalities. Profoundly relaxing and spiritually uplifting, Musical Healing is a journey to the healing heart.

Album Description

The heartfelt melodies of Marina Raye's native flutes blend magically with the enchanting sounds of nature. Raye combines her deep love for nature with her original flute melodies, played on native flutes that have been handcrafted by her husband, flutemaker Charlie Oakwind. Listeners will delight their senses in the organic beauty of gentle streams, ocean waves and bird songs. Those who enjoy Raye's Liquid Silk will love Nature's Enchantment!

Known as the "Feminine Voice of the Native Flute," Raye takes the native flute into a new realm of beauty and tranquility. Nature's Enchantment opens with "Enchanted Forest," a melodic interplay of treble and bass flutes, accompanied by the sounds of forest birds and mountain streams. The enchanting result is a hypnotic invitation to enter a world of peace and tranquility. The third track, "Wonderment," celebrates the exquisite beauty of the natural world with Raye's celebratory flute melody surrounded by the sounds of mourning doves, wood thrush and a gentle stream. The final track, "Breath of Peace," is a rich, heart-filled melody accompanied by owls, crickets, tree frogs and mountain streams.

Born in the Congo, Marina Raye draws inspiration from her deep love for the Earth, as she shares her vision of a world of peace, compassion and bliss. The result is sixty minutes of enchanting, peaceful music that is perfect for relaxation, massage or yoga.

Uplifting and beautiful.......2006-02-21

Good traveling music, good working/thinking/reading music, good do-nothing music. It's not jazz, more new-age but not really...it's hard to describe. Beautiful African-themed harmonies of some voice and mostly music, with African animal sounds or weather sounds in the background, that combine with perfect rhythms to create a thoroughly good CD. Worth getting if you enjoy any of the above! By the way, "Temba" means "Hope".

I like everything on this album except one song. I think that is #5, or whichever one there is a woman singing...I don't know what she's saying & it's a different pace than other songs so it is not as pleasing to me.

If you'd like a travel-with-kids CD that does not have anyone singing silly tunes in an overtly cheery tone, this is good for that too - the occasional animal sounds and the rhythms are fun.

Customer Reviews:

Your Spirit's Gonna Soar!.......2001-06-13

As I listen to this album I really feel as if I'm sitting at the edge of the ocean, with my feet just barely being touched by the cool water. I can be at the Sea while doing homework, when in bed and about to fall asleep, or while eating dinner by candlelight.

That is what I like about this album...for I truly do believe that music has healing powers--much like the famed "Mozart Affect". Especially when I listen to the "Pastoral" and "Joyful" pieces--beautiful renditions of what Beethoven surely must have heard even when he was deaf. Just beautiful...simply relaxing and peaceful.

Album Description

Relaxing, romantic, and inspiring, The Candlelight Guitarist™ performs a tapestry of gentle jazz and classical guitar styles. Music for Rest & Renewal (with nature sounds) is softly melodic music, with soothing sounds of nature: ocean, birds, rainfall, a stream and waterfall, fireside, and night sounds.

WIND AND WIRE, Minnesota Public Radio, KFAI 90.3 FM: "The Candlelight Guitarist™ album will probably surpass your expectations, as it did for me. Seldom do I hear music so perfectly balanced with nature sounds where the music is of such high quality - soft yet not syrupy, melodic but not shallow or sing-songy, sincere without being overblown or pretentious. ...Singling out more tracks is tough because the whole album is excellent. The pace is never hurried, thankfully. The words 'rest and renewal' are well-earned. However, I can't help but think that this album would also play well in a car during a leisurely drive through the woods or along the shores of a lake. ...If you're someone who enjoys acoustic guitar music...you can't go wrong with The Candlelight Guitarist's Music for Rest and Renewal. Powell's playing is gently dexterous and soulful (carefully balancing finger pyrotechnics with heart and sincerity)." ---reviewed by Bill Binkelman.

ABOUT THE NATURE SOUNDS Digitally recorded in stereo, each locale chosen for its peaceful ambience and soothing character. The music was inspired by the serenity of the nature sounds, and composed to be a melodic counterpoint. THE OCEAN: Huntington Beach, about 1/2 mile south of the pier (midnight, over two days). Santa Monica Beach, about 1/2 mile north of the pier, early Sunday morning. Malibu Beach, off Pacific Coast Highway. STREAM and WATERFALL: Winter Creek and Sturtevant Falls (Angeles National Forest). RAINFALL (after long dry spell), WITH HAWK, OWL and OTHER BIRDS: Big Tujunga Canyon WIND THROUGH TREES: Big Tujunga Canyon, after midnight. NIGHT SOUNDS, BIRDS AT DAYBREAK: The Verdugos, a mountain-desert area.

Very relaxing.......2007-04-10

It is a great cd for relaxing and or meditating. I was looking for something with less music, but was perfectly happy with what I recieved. Different songs for different times of the day.

Great music to work by.......2005-12-07

I rarely review music. But a copy of this album fell into my possession
(almost literally!) and I find it's great music when I want to write and
think. A very talented musician here.

Perfectly Peaceful & Rejuvenating.......2005-05-17

From the first gentle melodies on the instrumental album "Music for Rest & Renewal" to the final note, I feel transported to some of the most beautiful places on earth. Guitarist Bradley Powell, "the Candlelight Guitarist" infuses each of his original compositions with warmth and gentle assurance that all is well in the world. Flutes and nature sounds accompany acoustic guitar with such perfect ease and grace that I feel my heart rate and breathing noticeably becalmed. "Music for Rest & Renewal" is the perfect background music for anyone interested in receiving the benefits of sound healing.

An Arc of Guitars and Gentleness........2005-03-29

"Moved by our nation's events," in the fall of 2001 guitarist Bradley Powell decided to create "a healing work for people" and "light a musical candle," the artist's website explains about this CD's genesis. Growing up in a family of inventors and original thinkers, Powell picked up his first guitar at age ten and later had the opportunity to study, inter alia, with jazz guitarist Joe Pass, Dr. Ronald Purcell (including one master class taught by Andres Segovia), and David Rose of "Little House on the Prairie" fame.

The twelve tunes presented here form a musical arc from Spanish melodies to inflections of jazz and classical harmonies, and from daybreak to nightfall and to the promise of another day. True to the project's title, they are mostly quiet in mood, charming in their very unpretentiousness; and soothing like a hot bath or an evening by the fireplace. While Powell's crisp, precise fingerstyle technique speaks to both the quality of his training and the extent of his talent, he realizes that this is not the place for six- or twelve-string fireworks a la Segovia (or, for that matter, California's own fingerstyle wizard, Alex De Grassi, or his cousin, Windham Hill Records founder William Ackerman). Instead Powell keeps it simple - deceptively so - both melodically and in terms of arrangement. Three tracks - "Waltz of the Clouds," "Rainy Day Canon" and "Tomorrow Is a New Day" - are soft, tasteful duets with the flute(s) and oboe of Gilberto Hildavio, and there is also an overall slightly more elaborate instrumentation on the last track; otherwise, this is mostly about the warm, gentle sound of classical guitars blending with the sounds of wind and water, of seagulls on the Pacific Ocean, and of owls and other birds in California's woods, mountains, and deserts.

Contacted by email, Mr. Powell was reluctant to give specifics as to the types of guitars and strings used in the recording, but kindly confirmed that most of the pieces are played in standard tuning, with the guitar tuned down to D for "Rainy Day Canon" and "Waterfall Cove." He also mentioned the place that both guitars featured on this CD have in his life: one, his everyday companion; the other, a guitar that has been in his possession since college and has been fine-tuned by the hands of luthier Jose Oribe.

Whether you've just been through a period of emotional turmoil, or had a bad day at the office, or are just looking for the perfect music for a few quiet hours at home: I'm sure you won't be disappointed in turning to this CD.

"There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." - Edith Wharton.

Beautifully Mellow Sound.......2005-03-27

The talented and creative Bradley Powell is the Candlelight Guitarist. His music is original and some of the most soul soothing I have ever heard. "Music For Rest And Renewal" is just that. I often come home from work stressed-out to the max, put this CD on, and after a while the tension just flows away to the strains of his finger-style guitar. It rarely fails. Mr. Powell is accompanied, beautifully, by sounds of nature, including the ocean, birds, rainfall, a stream and waterfall, fireside, and night sounds, all digitally recorded on-location specially for this CD. The sounds are quite subtle and enhance the album tremendously. A blend of soulful Spanish, romantic classical, and gentle jazz, I often meditate to the music and sounds of nature offered here.

The artist features a quotation on his Website, by Ralph Waldo Emerson, which is extremely appropriate to the music he makes, "Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

I highly recommend "Music For Rest And Renewal," especially for those who live in a big city, as I do, and are nature deprived.

20 Years of Sacred Musical Vision.......2002-12-27

What a gift ! I feel incredibly fortunate to have been given the gift of the Gordon's 20th anniversary compilation album Sacred Drum Visions from my wife for the holidays. It is trully an exceptional collection and likely my favorite of the all the Gordon's releases thus far, as it contains many of the best tracks from their incredible highly-acclaimed native music series including Sacred Earth Drums, Sacred Spirit Drums and Drum Medicine as well as 3 magnificent new tracks. The Gordon brothers music has really evolved in a number of unique ways over the years. And though their music stems from a native American influence it artfully combines sounds and instumentation from many indigenous cultures from around the world, making their sound trully universal; and this clearly shines through in this compilation. Perhaps the best thing about this particular release is the perfectly sequenced flow of each track into the next creating a sonic journey that reaches back in time and trancends the mundane world taking the listener on a journey of the Spirit and the Imagination. The 3 new tracks are really exceptional gems. I particularly like Faithkeeper Part I, which opens the CD and Light of the Canyon, the jewel within the center of these tracks. This CD is far more than a retrospective of the Gordon's amazing body of work, it is a powerful, transformative and healing musical journey of the heart. I highly recommend it.

Very Dull.......2007-02-21

I think I am being generous with one star here.
David and Steve excel in some genres but should stay away from pure environmental efforts. The waterfall/stream sounds on this CD are loud, harsh, and overdone. The sounds are monotonous and just go on and on and on until you just can't stand it anymore. I have a fair number of music/nature compilations so I know what I'm talking about...this one becomes just plain annoying after a while. There is nothing soothing or serene about it at all.
If you are looking for the absolute best quality nature recordings blended with music, seek out any of Dan Gibson's work and go no further.

Best CD I've found for getting to sleep.......2006-06-16

I have purchased about a half dozen relaxing/meditative CDs, have a clock with "relaxing sounds", and listened to many more CDs. However, Garden of Serenity is the ONLY music I've found which calms my mind at the end of the day and sends me off into a quick, peaceful sleep. It's almost pavlovian - I hear the first four notes and I'm instantly relaxed. I highly recommend this as a sleep aid.

Very soothing and relaxing the whole way through.......2003-06-25

As a massage therapist I was a little worried about buying this because one reviewer was annoyed by the chimes - but they aren't really annoying in the least. I not only use this for my own clients, but I will put it on for myself when I receive one. I'm going for Volume II.

My tri yoga instructor uses this in our sessions. It allows you to breathe with the music at your own pace and is conducive to working toward slower, fuller breaths. The music is very tranquil.

Love it, Love it, Love it!.......2000-05-05

This CD is great for meditation, realaxation, unwinding. I use it with my clients when I do visualization exercises with them, and they love it, too. I am excited to see there is a Part II, and am ordering it NOW!
