Liquid mind is what you are looking for.......2007-05-25

Liquid mind albums are just what you are looking for if you need a cd for sleep, meditation, or napping. This album is difficult to stay awake to. Synth sounds glide in and out like clouds; you can't focus on one too long as it will pass by and you will find another sound-cloud to float on. No rhythm, no melody, no beat; there is enough change to keep you from being able to predict what is going to happen next but not so much that you stay alert. Very good for this purpose.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......2007-03-10

This is one incredible compact disc. It is so good, I can't wait to get home, hop in bed and throw the headphones on. The synthesizers are soooo soothing, they put me in a state of cosmic euphoria. I feel the stress of the day, just being pulled out of my body, and a soothing clam that follows. It is one of 3 that I have purchased which provide the same sense of tranquility that I require at the end of the day. If your daily life is filled with stress, (and who's isn't). This CD is highly recommended.....

Numb Resemblance.......2006-11-30

Balance is a mirror of Chuck Wild's first project (Ambience Minimus) 3 years earlier. Unfortunately there is no forward progress in the Liquid Mind series. There is more warmth than it's predacesor "Slow World", but that ethereal "Ambience Minimus" tone is lacking. Here the tone tends to be outlaid rather than uprisen. Yes it dose maintain that flowing monochromatic state and it's planes dissolve well with some interesting soundshifting. But that is not enough to make this project appealing.

Liquid Mind III: Balance.......2006-08-20

I use this product for massage background music. All Liquid mind CD work well. After purchasing the entire series, I realized you really only need 1 or 2 of this style.

A superb work.......2005-05-14

In my opinion, this is Liquid Mind's best work. If you haven't listened to this type of music before it is quite different. There is no beat, no melody, but drifting synthesizers that rise and dance on a theme of inspiration and grace. If you're looking for Yanni type New Age music you won't like this. If you're looking for something that plays well in the background as you do your work or meditate, this just might be the cd for you. One of my favorites.

I gave it to my father who leads a meditation healing group at his church. They play this cd during their session and people really find it promotes an atmosphere of quiet positivity.

Something about it..........2005-09-27

There's something about Aeoliah (and this CD in particular) that I find particularly relaxing, soothing, even euphoric. I have a rather large collection of "new age" music, and it's rare that any of it affects me the way this music does. When I put on the headphones and listen, I find myself not so much listening to the music as absorbing it. Soon, I'm in a sort of twilight state where the concerns of the world are left behind completely. I can't emphasize enough how rare it is that music affects me this way -- it need not be listened to "actively" the way a lot of music requires in order to enjoy it. I do recommend headphones for this music -- just put them on, and (although best listened to while relaxing in bed or on a comfortable chair/couch with no distractions) there's no need to concentrate on the music. Just relax and allow Zen Peace to carry you away.

My highest recommendation -- 5 stars.

Customer Reviews:

Top-notch sooth-ability! .......2005-03-09

Throughout this immeasurably relaxing album are the predominant natural sounds of both water and birdsong that get supported by an assortment of gentle keyboard instrumentations. From Ashron's singing bowls to Scholl's spacescape, from Shajan's pouring rain stick to the Gordon's bird and waterscapes, all lend the listener to a perfect blend of sound for bathing the mind and soothing the spirit. Sophia has the only track with vocals, but its ethereal voices are so sweet one forgives the gentle intrusion. In all, this is the Gordon's most relaxing and rewarding album for letting go. Top-notch sooth-ability!

Incredibly Peaceful & Moving.......2005-03-01

This latest compilation of healing music from Sequoia Records is nothing less than brilliant. A follow up to their beautifully relaxing "Musical Healing" release from several years back, Perfect Balance: Musical Healing Vol. 2 surpasses the first in depth, dynamic and serenity. The majority of tracks here are mainly new releases along with a few classics from legendary healing music pioneers, David & Steve Gordon. These are balanced perfectly with some amazingly traquil tracks from such healing music luminaries as Shajan, Sophia and several new artists of note, including Bernd Scholl, whose track "Watermoon" blissfully carries the listener away on an ocean of eternal calm and Ashron, whose "Golden Light" bathes the listener in a waterfall of shimmering sound. This 69 plus minute release is superbly produed, mixed and sequenced allowing for ultimate release and relaxation and is long enough to just let it run for accompanying any healing arts session. An exceptional release.

Perfect Balance of Power!.......2007-04-06

This album is very well-named, because it is phenonemal! The melodies are great and Lance King's vocals are amazing. Some of my favorite tracks are "Shelter Me," "Fire Dance," and "The Pleasure Room" (which I like so much that my online radio show is named after it!) Check this out; you will not be disappointed!

Balance Brings Back Harmonies.......2004-03-23

While alot of Power Metal / Prog Metal bands seem to have this idea that you can write a decent song without Harmonies if you just add a ton of flare, Balance gets back to basics. Heavy guitars, soaring vocals, and Harmonies!!!

Ok, so they are all the same guy dubbed. But what ropes you in? The production of a song? Or the fact that the band puts 100% effort into their work? Most people are caught by production...

In my opinion, Balance delivers both.

good DT-style power/prog.......2004-02-09

if you like this genre, like me, then this is a worthy addition to your collection. Good rhythm work, and strong, melodic DT/Queensryche vocals. Not amazing, but well above average with good production.

Great Album.......2004-01-25

I had never heard of Balance of Power till a friend told me to get this album,so i did,and i must say wow this is great classic rock/metal for a new millenuim.Powerful vocal's which would be a cross of Dream Theater and Yes,seething guiatar rythm's with a very crisp edge,and pummeling drums that have some of the best bass drum production sounds i've ever heard.All songs are catchy and have you singing with them at times with great chorus's,also each song has its on depth and lots of vocal harmonies to go around.So if you like good solid metal without any of today's flash then check these guys out,you won't regret it.

Melodic Progressive Power.......2001-11-29

Solid follow up album to Ten More Tales of Grand Illusion. Lance King's vocals shine on several tracks, but none brighter than on Shelter Me, which deserves to get some radio play. Among other bands of the prog-rock genre, Balance of Power tend to be less hectic, but in their case, less is more. Each part of their songs shine through and are not drowned out by other aspects of the playing. In other words, although you will not find Yngwie type leads, you also will not hear mediocricy in any of the band members. I saw this band at Prog Power 2.0 and have to say that as good as their studio stuff is, they're even better live!

Album Description

America began forging its own cultural identity in the 19th Century with music reflecting a vast array of cultures coming together. By the time the first music conservatory opened in 1865, European classical music had begun to be mingled with music influenced by Native American themes, African-American styles of ragtime and spirituals, Latin American and rural American folk music, and the traditional military band. With Vintage America, Calico Winds showcases these American musical roots. Known for exploring the full palette of tone colors available to the wind quintet, Calico Winds plays "in perfect balance with each other, each [member] contributing lovely tone quality and flawless intonation…" (The Times Herald, Olean, NY) It is with these attributes that Calico Winds brings to life America's rich musical legacy.

Saucy, Melodic, Old-Fashioned American Wind Quintet Music.......2004-09-13

[Disclaimer: I'm a pushover for wind quintet music. There is something about the uneasy combination of timbres that unfailingly engages my interest and admiration.]

I found myself having trouble getting beyond the first band on this delightful release from Albany Records featuring the playing of a Los Angeles-based wind quintet calling themselves 'Calico Winds.' I kept pushing the repeat button to hear it one more time. It's that rhythmically invigorating and melodic. The music presented here is almost all by Americans, some from among those first conservatory-trained American composers of the 19th-century: William Mason, his nephew Daniel Gregory Mason, and Edward MacDowell. The more recent composers tend to write in conservative style so that the most recent work, 'Sea Sketches' by the only non-American, Briton David B. Chadwick, could be mistaken for something by an early twentieth-century writer. Some of the pieces are skillful transcriptions for quintet: Mason's 'Dance Antique,' that infectious first band I'd mentioned; MacDowell's 'Fireside Tales,' William Grant Still's folk-song based 'Miniatures' and 'Folk Suite,' Scott Joplin's 'Two Rags' ('The Cascades' and 'Maple Leaf Rag'), and the rousing closer, Sousa's 'The Stars and Stripes Forever.' Indeed, the only works originally written for wind quintet are Daniel Gregory Mason's 'Divertimento,' Arthur Farwell's brief and delightful 'Prairie Miniature,' and Chadwick's 'Sea Sketches.' That latter, by the way, has a catchy setting of 'The Sailors' Hornpipe,' another piece I couldn't get enough of.

Calico Winds consists of five women: Eileen Holt Helwig, flute and piccolo; Rong-Huey Liu, oboe and English horn; Rachel Berry, horn; Kathryn Nevin, clarinet; and Theresa Treuenfels, bassoon. I'd never heard of this expert and musicianly group before, although I gather they have made at least one prior recording on the humorously named 'Occasionally Sober' label and containing music from Bach to Zappa. I expect we'll be hearing from them again, if we're lucky.

This is not profound music. This is joyful music. It's worth hearing, and more important, worth coming to love. A real keeper, this.

Product Description

'Siyo friends: This recording reflects the different aspects of my journey in this world & the different cultures I have encountered as I attempt to find out more about myself & who I truly am. It is a cross-over of two cultures, or two worlds, that I live within. In contrast of my previously released cd, Voice From Within - which was a simple traditional concept, this cd is more an interweaving of the traditional & contemporary emotion. I've orchestrated many of the instruments that I have fallen in love with over the past & found that the Native American flute fits nicely in both of these worlds. I would like to thank all the friendly & wonderful talent that so generously shared themselves on this recording. From my heart, Wa do....

Sounds of a Journey.......2005-10-14

Michael has again brought us a musical journey that can only be experienced through Michael's heart. His love and sincere reverence for his tradition manifests itself through his music. Knowing Michael as a close friend, teacher and warrior, he truly exemplifies a product of the Red Way in its purest form. As you listen to the tones, you will walk a time-line of Michaels life where he bridges two cultures harmoniously and provides a vision of how two races, though ethnically different, can be brought together to manifest a musical fusion of extraordinary talent. Michael's music has a story to tell and a vision to share. To those who can look beyond the veil, Unearthed will guide you through a vision of one man sincerely dedicated to keeping a vanishing culture in recognition. Wa-do Oginali...

Acoustic guitar, bull roarer, didgeridoo...PLUS Michael Searching Bear on the Native American Flute??!!! Heck, I would have just taken Michael on the flute and Windwalker on the vocals and gladly forked over the dough...but you throw in those other wonderful (and amazingly complementary) instruments as well, done with grace and aplomb, and you've got a one-of-a-kind blend of contemporary and traditional sounds. Didn't think he could outdo his previous release "Voice Within". I was wrong!! Tom Kerr - Executive Director, Kulture Kids [...]

I just had to write: wow! Cd arrived, & I finally got a chance to listen, I sat down, & worked on a gourd rattle. What gems you & yours are! Let me tell you, I have quite a collection of flute music by R. Carlos, & Spotted Eagle, etc. & I have just found my new favorite art music (I call it that because in order to keep my heart open while I work, I listen to music that brings light to me).
It's you & yours that brings life to your instruments! Again, awesome cd!! Inspiring!! Thank you!!
