Album Description

"Miles Beyond" is the stunning follow up to Suzanne Teng's award winning debut "Mystic Journey." The nine original compositions include a haunting invocation on ocarina, the flashy Spanish flavored "Sierra" featuring alto flute and flamenco guitar, an ecstatic trance dance number with exotic winds and hynotic Middle Eastern percussion played by Gilbert Levy, a rocking sitar dance number, an enchanting African song featuring Levy on Balaphone, a sweet Indonesian song on suling, a mesmerizing Native American flute piece composed in a cave, a breathtaking title track song "Miles Beyond" with sensual flutes and a beautiful steel drum, ending with a sweet Chinese lullaby.

The album features Teng on over 11 ethnic flutes, Levy on drums from India, Africa, Egypt and Iran, Fritz Heede on sitar, guitar and Turkish saz, Barry Newton on string bass with special guest Naser Musa, master oud player, and perfomers on didgeridoo, cello, electric bass and keyboards. This original instrumental music is exotic, dreamy, grooving and soothing to the soul.

Named one of Southern California's Hot 100 Unsigned bands of 2003, Suzanne Teng and Mystic Journey is a contemporary world music band to look out for. Their new album is a journey of the soul with

No lover of flute music shoud be without this CD!.......2007-02-09

If we take variety and skill into account Suzanne Teng may be the world's premiere flutist. She plays just about every flute known to mankind and plays them with a mastery that every master would envy. While Suzanne Teng's first album, Mystic Journey, was excellent, this CD, Miles Beyond, is a true masterpiece of World Music. Suzanne Teng's third release, Enchanted Wind, is more geared to meditation music.
There are elements of diverse musical traditions woven into a rich tapestry of sound on this CD. These include: folk, classical and (middle) eastern music. Also, a wide variety of instruments are used: besides many different types of flutes, we hear a sitar on one track and a didgeridoo (instrument of Australian Aborigines) on another.
This is a CD that you will want to listen to again and again. It's soothing, inspiring and fascinating. Highly recommended!

The kind of music you want to keep listening to............2006-03-23

"Miles Beyond" by Suzanne Teng and Mystic Journey has become one of my favorite CDs--it's the kind of music that you can never tire of....authentic, soulful, a great mix of textural sounds and innovative rhythms. Everytime I listen to it I hear something new. My two favorite tracks are Medicine Wheel and Chicoy...all of the tracks, each recorded with a different flute and percussion mix, take you on a unique journey...uplifting, meditative, heartfelt. I have given this CD as a gift to many family and friends--everyone loves it. Suzanne's flute playing is stellar...no wonder she has won so many awards and praise....she and her band get my 5 stars!

A journey by flute.......2004-05-28

Suzanne Teng plays nine different kinds of flutes on this album, so if you like flutes, this album is perfect. By playing different kinds of flutes and changing musical styles throughout the album, it's kind of like a journey around the world by flute. "Babylonians" has a strong Middle Eastern flavor, "Sitara" follows with the sounds of India, then "Motherland" begins with a Chinese sound, but as African-sounding drums become more prominent later in the song, it becomes a fusion of world sounds.

These three tracks are my favorite ones on the album. The rest of the album is good too, with a slow tempo and sounds that produce a peaceful and relaxing mood.

Tracks:

I. Andante Con Moto
II. Double Fugue
III. Andante Expressivo
Fantasy On A Hymn
I. In My Distress
II. I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes
III. Dance For Joy

Beautiful..........2002-03-29

I bought this album for Thomas Canning's "Hymn" after hearing the piece in the play "Worksong: Three Views of Frank Lloyd Wright". During the show, it was used in such a haunting fashion that listening to it along with the on stage action was enough to bring shivers to your body and goosebumps to your skin. It's one of my favorite classical pieces of music...

Chill out deluxe........2006-09-23

BUY this CD. I've had it for several years now and it I still listen to it. I've just pulled it out and it sounds fresh as ever. I won't go into detail, you can read the other reviews for that, but I think this album will go down as one of the finest chill out/mood albums of our time.

Some interesting tonalities, but . . . .......2006-09-09

Every track but one has a simple, thumping percussion line, an artifact of modern music which I increasingly find tedious. No doubt it is easier to appeal to the brain stem rather than the prefrontal lobes. Unobjectionable as background music, but not actually worth listening to. Perhaps best described as music which one may hopefully, in time, grow out of.

Stellar ! His best work..........2006-04-04

I think this album is timeless... the moods, melodies, harmony and textures are second to none. A great mixture of ambient to dance. Up there with the likes of Ulrich Schnauss and Manual. Contact Note is a good album, but Opalescent blows it away. A great buy.

Funny how after buying this album I realised much of it is played in Sex and the City, as well as a few other movies... Still great music none the less. :)

Ambient music done right.......2005-09-16

Good collection of ambient tunes that you can enjoying listening to over and over.

Best album I've ever heard.......2003-10-23

One of the tracks from Opalescent was included on a new age sampler CD attached to the front of Nature and Health magazine, which is where I first heard it. The more I listened to the track, the more I wanted the album, but trying to locate Opalescent in Australia was quite difficult. Luckily I managed to find it - finally! - and it has proved to be the best purchase I've ever made, music-wise. This guy is phenomenal, especially considering his age (21). My music collection includes a huge amount of Vangelis, Jarre, Tangerine Dream and most of the heavies of chillout, electronic and ambient music, but I think I wound up listening to tracks from Opalescent at least once or twice a day for literally months - more than anything I've ever owned. Hopkins' music is utterly mesmerizing. It creates an ambient atmosphere unlike anything I've ever heard before. Everything flows together. This will sound cliched, but if you only ever buy one chillout album, let this one be it. I cannot recommend it highly enough, it is one of those one-in-a-million perennially listenable albums that I'm sure I will never tire of.

Impeccably Performed, Stunning Sound.......1998-11-20

The beautifully captured reverberant sound of the acoustic space is matched by gorgeous choral balance, precise diction, and definitive interpretation. In spite of the contemporary style of the compositions - Rorem doesn't shy away from crunchy dissonances - this is a very enjoyable collection of Choral music with many beautfiul moments.

I was really eager to listen to this album because I love Pinkham's music so much, and also because it took over a month to ship. I finally had a listen and while at times the voices seem a bit unbalanced, it actually is a very well-performed cd. nice work.

Brilliant: An artist at the height of his powers.......1999-10-08

Don has a wonderfully sequenced set of songs here. I find the songwriting is even better than his previous albums. This seems to me to be an extension of his "Beautiful masterpiece" album. Got this one as a Birthday present. It has not been off my cd since. Don Con is becoming one of the best songwriters around. No wonder Ellis Paul and he are friends: they are both the cutting edge of the new folk movement. These guys need more recognition for their works of art. If you like acoustic music with poetic lyrics, buy this cd!!
