Beautiful.....peaceful.......2007-04-17

Great to sail through dream clouds
it is worth the listening.
I do recommend this music and
believe you will enjoy as I do.

Aural Landscape of the Desert.......2005-03-08

Those coyotes are beautiful... for those of us who don't live in the desert but respect it and understand it, this CD is a joy to submerse oneself into.

Like another reviewer, I was given this CD by an old friend and it took me years to appreciate it. It literally took me a decade before I listened to it all the way through. I've been more of a Steve Roach person myself, whose "Artifacts" is a pioneering work about the desert as well.

But there is something different with Evenson's interpretation: it's calmer, more relaxing, like a light shower that breaks into golden sunlight, revealing rainbows and birds. A little utopian at that, but the music does a wonderful job of promoting a nice feeling.

My favorite tracks are Desert Moon, which takes place at the Hour of the Wolf. It invokes the images of coyotes and night-stars and a slowly moving Harvest moon; and Desert Dawn...the music here is programmatic (the whole album is programmatic) in that it musically describes the zodiac light gently hugging the horizon, and slowly recrudescing into white, fading all traces of dark blues and blacks of the sky away.

Other tracks stand out, but the album as a whole is very well done. Not for all tastes, of course, and it took me a while to fully enjoy it. But I don't regret that.

One of the most relaxing CD's ever........2001-09-07

While you may need to have experienced the desert, in real life, to fully appreciate the sounds of this selection, it is truly a great CD to relax to. If ever it were possible to totally lose yourself in music, this would have to present a great opportunity to accomplish that.

This is also a great CD for lovers of Native American Music, and I can say only one CD in that genre, has moved me more.

As an amusing finish to these comments....my sibling poodle puppies listen intently to this CD when it is played....as though commanded by the sounds of the desert played. They lisen to no CD more intently.

Stirring Images.......2000-06-16

This album represents a certain type of new-age music thatreally appeals to me. It's a melding of instrumental and naturalsounds. When it's done right, it can transport you to a certain place and time. Evenson manages quite well here. Neither the instruments nor the natural undercurrent are overwhelming. It's peaceful. And whether you want some nice background to enhance a work or play environment, or you just want to space-out with headphones, this music will do the trick. In particular, the harp does very well in this CD, maintaining a very sharp expectation in "Evensong", and I always look forward to this track as I play the album through. Personally, I think the first and third tracks could be better. Overall, very high marks. You'll get a lot of use out of this one.

Like an enticing massage---.......1999-11-29

---it winds it's way into my subconscious.

A friend gave me this album several years ago and it keeps getting played, now probably more than 200 times, way more than any other. Sometimes I crave it. When I'm in my office in the eveing, working on a project, Desert Moon Song provides the perfect company. It takes my subconscious away from minute distractions, and creativity seems to flow.

Album Description

"Pacific Moon is creating a new beachhead of Asian fusion, mixing ambient music with electronica, traditional instruments from across Asia with western guitars and synthesizers in a heady, and often illuminating mix ... the artistic evolution of our time is not just in discovering the new, but in reinventing the ancient. Pacific Moon is doing that." -- John Diliberto, Host/Producer, Echoes

"Who are these people? Their recordings feature state of the art production and engineering, possibly the best world fusion music being recorded today, and some of the most imaginative, innovative, and provocative compositions in recent memory. I simply cannot sing the praises of this label enough. If you haven't tried one of their CDs yet, you're missing the next big thing." -- Bill Binkelman, Wind & Wire

Today, yoga is taking the world by storm. People from all walks of life are practicing many different styles of yoga, with goals varying from fitness to spiritual training. Listening to these peaceful rhythms will take you away from your busy life. The songs will help you find a perfect breathing rhythm, letting you ignore the outside world and tune in to your inner self.

There are dozens of yoga CDs on the market, but the body benders at Dharma Moon Records might have a better line on it than most. Founder David Nichtern, who also wrote Maria Muldaur's hit "Midnight at the Oasis," is a Dean of Buddhist Studies, while his wife, Cyndi Lee, is an author and Director of New York City's Om Yoga Center. Lee sequenced Om Yoga Mix with previously released materiel from Dharma Moon Records as well as several new tracks. Mirroring the flow of a yoga session, Om Yoga Mix moves seamlessly from the floating spaces of Michael Hewett's e-bow guitar soliloquy on "Nagual" to more uptempo themes like Nichtern's "In Praise of...," featuring kirtan-style chanting. Nichtern's global fusion group Drala is represented by the energized new track "Moment to Moment" and the slo-mo trance of "Opening the Gates" from their debut CD. An English vocal track with singer Falguni, reveals Nichtern's melodic pop sensibilities filtered through Indian raga. While English vocals are rare in the yoga world, it works on Om Yoga Mix, which takes you on a journey whether you're in a yoga session or listening session. --John Diliberto

Customer Reviews:

Bakti Yoga Music.......2004-08-16

The music might not be the most ideal for an "asana" practice (depending on your style of practice), but this CD is great for an uplifting and positve listen. It is relaxing AND invigorating at the same time. This would make a great CD to listen to when you get sick of the negative pop stuff on the radio. It can also be a great listen for AFTER a yoga practice - as a reinforcing meditation. After all, yoga isn't about just the poses! Namaste

This is awful.......2003-11-14

As individual songs, some of them have merit. As a compilation, OM Yoga Mix makes no sense. It is embarrassing that a Yoga teacher so poorly structured this album and that she missed the mark by such distance that it becomes unlistenable in any environment ...."Professional musicians" apparently review their own work to make it appear valid when infact it is not. Be weary of complimentary reviews that appear too good to be true!

Some tracks ok, but misleading, not a very good yoga CD.......2003-09-13

Some tracks were flat out distracting for a yoga practice,there was no sense of flow or theme. Certainly not a yoga CD for a serious practitioner or yoga instructor. Very disappointed considering the previous reviews that I based by purchase on.

Music is Good but sound Quality terrible.......2003-05-31

Love the Music, but the sound quality kinda kills it. It's still a good cd just not worth the price, plus when I am trying to relax and a bunch of distortion comes out of my speakers, it tends to disturb me out of my state of mind

OM Yoga.......2003-05-02

As a musician, I highly recommend this groundbreaking, world fusion mix!

Album Description

Mystical voices and the sounds of Gamelan recorded in Bali create ambient sounds that invite you deep into the world where the gods reside. This music has the power to add color to empty space; it is pure relaxation music with an Asian theme. Soft Asian music has a warm resonance that recalls gentleness. Immerse yourself in this heartfelt music, quietly let go of the self, and refresh your soul. When you listen to this music, you will feel palm trees nodding in the wind, white sands, blue skies & seas, and time quietly passing.

Healing Music and Yoga.......2001-08-05

I truly enjoyed this CD. I use the music in my Yoga and meditation classes and my students can really identify with the combination of the Yoga flow and also all the breath work that I incorporate into the class. I find that each time I play the music I can also focus on the students movement and allow each student to move into the poses and the transitions work well from one Yoga flow to the next. I have played other Yoga music, but I find that my students always request this CD. A definite thumbs up to this beautiful selection.

Koto string sounds take the listener to a place in the mountains to enjoy the clear air - a paradise world like no other that seems like it may exist somewhere in the world...yet does not.
