BT's This Binary Universe is really a follow-up to his 2004 soundtrack to Monster, a brilliant work of cinematic moods and ambient Americana. It was unjustly ignored by both the Oscars and the Grammys, where it should have at least been nominated for Best Surround Sound Recording. None of that has stopped Brian Transeau from going further down this path of expansive ambient electronica that takes him out of the techno-pop and trance direction he had been pursuing. This Binary Universe taps into BT's classical side, with expansive arrangements and intricate, albeit minimalist, thematic development. From the opening of "All That Makes Us Human Continues," BT reveals himself as a master of Eno-esque melancholy, as simple melodies evolve through an electro-orchestral instrumental palette. Lounge jazz with solos in the key of abstract, plaintive arpeggiated guitars, electro marches, minimalist hymns, and pastoral dreamscapes drive an album that seeks out joy and redemption, but not without traveling through the dark. The last track, "Good Morning Kaia," is a paean to his newborn daughter, and the most purely anthemic track on the disc.

I suspect the real raison d'être of This Binary Universe is the accompanying 5:1 surround DVD. BT creates an immersive space that's less sonic pinball and more audio sculpture, often revealing different aspects of his music than in the stereo mix. Each song on the DVD has a unique video that includes antique robots, surreal landscape drawings, live action fantasies, and abstract designs. It's the best way to experience this music, but whether you watch the DVD or tune into the stereo CD, This Binary Universe may be the first ambient symphony of the 21st century. --John Diliberto

Yea, the best of the best.......2007-06-30

Have you ever bought a drink thinking you are getting something else. Say you buy a 'tea' but when you taste it, tastes like 'coke'. Oh, you bought the tea flavored coke. This is how I experienced BT's Binary Universe. I was expecting that in your face, break-beat, trance, old-school BT but this CD is definitely more ambient or house. With that being said, it is really a truly amazing CD. You won't get it the first time you listen to it, but if you listen to the CD over and over again it starts to sync-in. Some of the music is stuff you haven't heard before. Maybe in 10 years, musicians, producers will catch-up.

Really enjoyed track 4 through 6. Even though those are only 3 songs, they are long and change to different styles in the middle. 6 is freaking awesome.

I wanted to give it 5 stars, but because I was expecting something else, I knocked off a star. Good job though.

Brilliant, just brilliant.......2007-06-07

Men have been knighted for less.

If you like electronica in any way...strike that. If you think sound is kinda groovy, check this out. There will be something here for you.

Very good change for Mr. Transeau.......2007-06-01

This really is impressive music. Brian Transeau has always been at the front of the line for technological wizardry, but a lot of his tracks have lacked the kind of songwriting prowess that is sorely needed when writing anything electronic. His score to the movie "Stealth" was lackluster at best...

On a side note, the reviewer who falsely credited BT with the score to the Matrix movies should check his/her facts first. The score was by Don Davis, a wonderful band named Juno Reactor, and contained songs by Paul Oakenfold, Rob Dougan, and several rock bands, but absolutely no BT songs were on the soundtracks to any of the 3 movies or the "Animatrix" short film collection, or any of the video games (so far).

This is a really interesting album, containing 7 ambient tracks that tend to follow the Concerto style of establishing a theme, varying the theme, then returning to it. Most of these songs follow this pattern in some shape or form. A major theme in here is youth, particularly infantile youth. I believe that Kaia is the name of his daughter, and supposedly he had her in his arms for many parts of this writing process. Many of the melodies are very beautiful in that infantile sort of way, giving you the impression that they are lullabies of sorts.

They are wonderfully crafted with an infinite amount of detail. There are subtle changes to almost every piece in every sequence. This is best enjoyed with headphones or in surround, as many other reviewers have noted.

The only parts that didn't fit well with me were the power chord sections of "Good Morning Kaia" which clashed with the rest of the album. The jazz section of "Dynamic Symmetry" also sounded quite robotic and lifeless. Jazz does not fit in well with the kind of perfection of sound that BT uses, at least in this attempt.

Major highlights are the orchestral sections in "The Antikythera Mechanism", which are booming and powerful, and get torn apart cleverly by his editing. The other is the core of the song "1.618" (a BRAVE title for a song, I might add), which is this gorgeous hook at a walking pace that you could loop and listen to for 20 minutes.

Overall, wonderful sculpting and a dizzying array of effects make the replay value on this music through the roof. A bit more work on the last track and a little more life in the short jazz section would've made it near perfect.

OMFG.......2007-05-16

I dont really like the housey stuff by BT (or anyone) but this album has a classical sensibility and an epic feel that i love about other ambient electronica. If you like ambient electronica- this CD is perfectly crafted - I'm not joking - its like... f'n... perfect.

Amazing!.......2007-05-14

BT is a genious. This CD/DVD combo is a little different from a lot of his stuff I've heard in the past, but it is still excellent. The quality of the music on this CD MUST be listened to with good headphones to be truely appreciated! I am no audiophile, and I reguarly poke fun at their gigantic headphones, but in BT's case, this CD deserves the special treatment. You will miss a LOT of what he is including in his music if you listen with speakers. The DVD is also fantastic. The DTS surround makes it even better. It's great background video/music for a party. Do not download this from iTunes, buy the high quality CD/DVD and you won't be sorry!

Album Description

As we explore the depths of our "self", our "souls", through massage, relaxation, and other healing modalities, we gain experience and knowingness. The music from Detaching The World Vol. 1 is a transient, which allows for this knowingness to occur in a peaceful, tranquil, and comforting environment.

This CD has been created to provide over 60 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. Emil Gagliardi has introduced a new style of guitar called "The Nuit's Effect" named after its rich soothing textures and deep earthy tones. From the opening cut of "Tranquil Sunrise", Gagliardi's swirling guitar immediately sets the perfect mood for massage and relaxation. The density of "The Valley Beyond" swallows you up in a tapestry of color similar to a warm blanket while the hauntingly beautiful "Fallen Angel" resembles a fresh new day after a storm.

Gagliardi's vision of creating the perfect massage and relaxation music sets Detaching The World (Vol. 1) apart from all others. Its purpose is to serve gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Customer Reviews:

***PERFECT FOR MASSAGE - BEAUTIFULLY RELAXING***.......2007-08-01

I originally discovered the music of Detaching the World at the Canyon Ranch in Tucson. After having one of the most cleansing deep tissue massages ever, I fell in love with the music of Vol. 4 and started to incorporate it into my massage practice. Needless to say, the music has been a success with myself and my clients ever since.
I was recently given Detaching the World Vol. 1 as a present by one of my regulars who happens to also love this music. I couldn't believe what I had been missing!!! I just started using it on a few clients and already people are melting away with the beautiful touch of this music. Everything about this CD is perfect for massage:

- The length (60+ mins, most of my clients are an hour long)
- The flow (a slow yet even match with my hands)
- The volume (the consistency remains throughout the disk)
- The sound (beautiful layered textures of music, apparently guitar)
- The quality (100%)
- The happiness from my clients (they look refreshed and comment positively to the music)
- My happiness as a therapist with this music (100%)

For me, this CD is a gold mine compared to my other relaxation CDs. Like Vol. 4, Vol. 1 is a keeper and will not leave you or your clients disappointed. Don't pass this one up!

Detaching the World Vol 1.......2007-06-27

I purchased this CD based on the reviews alone,In comparison to other meditation Cd's I own; this CD ranks far below.The music is in my opinion anything but relaxing.Not suitable for meditation.

Promising Debut by Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi.......2007-05-23

Although guitarist Emil Gagliardi's debut CD was designed for massage, meditation, and relaxation, it is much more than that. The ambient release features soothing, New Age-style synthesizer sounds generated entirely by Emil's electric guitar. The result is not only a great therapeutic tool, but also a legitimate work of sonic art in the vein of Andy Summers' classic ambient guitar album, Mysterious Barricades. Emil Gagliardi is a guitarist to keep an eye out for. [...]

Relaxing Music.......2007-02-20

I have other "relaxing" CDs that really don't do the job. This one does. I actually bought it to listen to while I had some dental work done and it was very helpful!

I got this gift for my boss since he is always so stressed. He closes his door sometimes and pops in the Cd to relax. Thanks!

Album Description

In the second installment of the series, Connecting The Universe Music has released a new relaxing journey with Detaching The World Vol. 2 - Ambient music for massage/relaxation/meditation. Through exploration of the unconscious, this music was designed as an offering by the artist to bring about complete relaxation to the listener. It allows for the unknown self to awaken and remember with comfort and ease.

Musician and creator Emil Gagliardi brings to us nine new tracks with Vol. 2. This CD provides over 63 minutes in running time without the use of vocals or percussion. As the opening track "Peaceful Country" begins, Gagliardi's unique and inimitable style of ambient guitar immediately sets the tone for a tranquil relaxing atmosphere. On "Mirror", you feel yourself sinking deeper into the gentle hands of what the artist calls "The Nuit's Effect" while "The Fellowship" and "The Fellowship Reprise" are a meditation of three soothingly calm guitars journeying to the mystical unknown. "Hawaiian Compressions" is a three piece composition symbolizing the warming atmosphere of the sun while gently slipping into the earthy picturesque tones of "Healing Within". The last track, "Pulse", is the capture of a meditation right outside the artist's home where the ocean, mountains, and sky share one relaxed and rejuvenated heartbeat.

Emil Gagliardi continues to provide seekers of total relaxation with his unique and one of a kind style of music. As heard in the bestselling Detaching The World Vol. 1, his devotion to creating serene music for the healing arts goes unsurpassed by his peers. His music bestows upon the listener gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Customer Reviews:

Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Dazzles on Second Album.......2007-05-23

Emil Gagliardi shows what he's made of in this spectacular follow-up. Laying down atmospheric riffs and hypnotic patterns against a backdrop of lush guitar-generated textures, Gagliardi creates canyons of sound that seem to come from the heavens and reverberate across a vast stretch of land beneath a starry expanse of sky. Combining the guitar stylings of Andy Summers, Robert Fripp, Allan Holdsworth, and even George Harrison, Gagliardi forges a unique and unparalleled style all his own. [...]

serene ambient guitar to help aid a stressful mind.......2004-10-27

Lately I've been submerging myself in yoga, morning meditation, T'ai Chi, and massage therapy to help my mind, body and spirit cope with the loss of a loved one. My sister (who raves about this artist) gave me this cd on my birthday in hopes that it would aid through the grieving process and help me relax.

Soon after my birthday, I finally had an afternoon to do nothing but try and unwind. I took my portable cd player outside with this cd and lied in my hammock. A few minutes after hitting play, I closed my eyes and had the most intense visualizations. It was as if each note from this music embraced my soul and projected a movie of warmth and comfort in my eyelids.

A few hours went by as I lay in my hammock listening to this cd repeat over and over. The calming effects of this music, combined with the hammock, had relaxed me beyond words. It was as if the stress detached my world (no pun intended).

As I look through the liner notes, I notice that this entire cd was created with guitars. Never in my life have I heard guitar sound so angelic and peaceful. All of this cd is great, yet the piece of music that comforts my heart the most is Pulse. Pulse has a calm heartbeat sound with this airy guitar melody that dances gently through the notes. Absoulutly beautiful!

I am bringing this cd to my next massage appointment in hopes that my therapist too will feel the heavenly ambiance that this music provides.

My client's favorite pick for bodywork!.......2004-06-06

Just got volume 2. Delicious! What an encore. Nicely divergent from Volume 1. It seems to be more 'grounded' than the prior work but still retaining the flavors of space. You can tell this artist respects the delicate atmosphere needed for massage. This cd is successful with a client who is beyond picky with his musical choices during our sessions. Muchas gracias!

the most creative musical journey.......2003-12-15

Having had so many incredible experiences listening and working with Detaching The World Vol. 1, I purchased Vol. 2 without hesitation. Although different from the first CD, the musicians style of meditative guitar transforms me and resonates with me similiar to Vol. 1. It seems as if the music puts me in a trance sending me to another place - a place where everything is calm and nothing can go wrong. My thoughts disappear and I capture the importance of being in every moment. This CD is mellow enough for deep relaxation yet also great music to play in the car on a long roadtrip. Either way it is definitely a journey that everyone should experience. I also find it important to listen from beginning to end without stopping - each track almost leads you to the next. It's as if a story is formed in track 1 that sends you wanting to know more in track 2. This continues until the "grand finale" which is a "heartbeat"-like song - sending you immediataly inward on your own journey. This is a beautiful CD.

Enchantment.......2007-04-03

This music is so exquisite it brings tears of joy to my eyes. I have never been so moved. Wonderful for meditation or just relaxed enjoyment. A singer with perfect pitch and an enormously talented composer. This beautiful music will take you into presence.

Heavenly.......2007-03-10

Singh Kaur's heavenly music is the perfect antitdote to a busy and stress-filled day. I easily come back home, to my most shining self, when I listen to her other-worldly CD.

Equisite and Filled Eternal Bliss.......2005-10-12

Just exquisite! I love Singh Kaur from her Crimson Series releases and absolutely adored her previous collaboration with Gary Stadler on "Fairy NightSongs". But this new release fills me with such joy and wonder and opens my heart in a way that I have never experienced from music before. Singh Kaur's voice is radiant and pierces my soul with it's devotional passion and tenderness. I feel blessed to have found this magnificent piece of music. Thank you, thank you, thank you Gary Stadler for bringing Singh Kaur's final musical gift to us all. Many Blessings.

All Pain And Sorrow Depart.......2005-09-14

As I've mentioned elsewhere I have a deep, visceral reaction when I hear Singh Kaur's voice. Suddenly I stop for a moment, as the wise say, my mind opens, and I remember that the problem isn't me, the problem is my reaction to the problem. This dates back to my first discovery of her series of chants done on the independent ?Invincible label with Kim Robertson on harp. This Crimson collection, her final recording, is the closest thing to healing music that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, the set has to be sought out or ordered, and many people simply have never heard what is one of the most powerful voices in new age music.

I don't know if I can put my finger on what exactly is it about her singing that does this. The Spark in the Night, the first cut on this album is a reworking of an old melody of hers. The simplicity of her voice, the purity of her tone fits right into the music. As her singing matured, her voice gained coloration, and this song works not simply as and easy melody, but it reaches the listener emotionally as well.

Most of the album (43 minutes) is spent on the title piece, this universe. Combining wit Gary Stadler, Lisa Lynne, and several others, it is meditation music perfection. While anything of this length is going to be repetitious, Singh Kaur manages to vary dynamics, rhythm and color so that even the repetition is soothing. This is no small accomplishment in a world where many people think that meditation music should be electronic choirs droning over electronic strings. Singh Kaur is never hackneyed.

Rather than drone on about Kaur's talents, I suggest that, if you are looking for the narrow path to inner quiet, you stop a moment and listen for yourself.

A New Beginning
Motions
The Comforts of Home
Spring

Album Description

It's a new beginning with this third installment in the Detaching the World series. Musician Emil Gagliardi has written these compositions to reflect a unique inner journey, a style often described as meditative guitar. This music creates a peaceful, soothing environment for massage, relaxation, meditation, and yoga.

Detaching the World Vol. 3 provides over 60 minutes of continuous comforting ambient guitar work. As with all cds releases by this artist, there are no: fast tempos, fluctuating volume changes, synthesizers or percussion.

At the start of this journey, we come across the first composition; a 25 minute piece entitled A New Beginning. You hear an immediate gentle wave of music as the tone is set in favor of listeners requesting a blissful atmosphere for massage and relaxation. Throughout A New Beginning, the ambient landscapes of guitar change as if the artist is! taking us on a special calming voyage away from the mind and toward the heart.

Motions is a perfect example of meditative guitar as Detaching the World takes you deeper into a meditative state. The listener can hear a warm background melody weave in between each tranquil note giving the textures of the song a levitation type feel.

As we embark on the leisurely gentle Comforts of Home, this piece portrays a special improvised feeling of calmness as if the artist just took us in from a cold day, sat us down by the fire with a warm blanket, and handed us a cup of tea.

The latter leads us into Spring, a uniquely creative composition symbolizing a change within the musical climate of this work of art. The magic of Spring is meant to remind listeners of the special atmosphere needed to receive massage. Each tender note is meant to melt away anxiety and stress.

In this ever changing world of music, Detaching the World brings massage therapists, yoga instructors and seekers of total relaxation world wide to a new dimension. This music bestows upon the listener gentleness and ease like the inhalation and exhalation of the breath.

Customer Reviews:

Ambient Guitarist Emil Gagliardi Creates Cosmic Sounds.......2007-06-03

Ambient guitarist Emil Gagliardi calls his independent label Connecting the Universe Music, and this CD truly has the feel of a personal and instant connection to the cosmos. The album starts off ambitiously with big, dreamy, and mysterious chords that engender intimate reflection of both the internal and the external, and perhaps even the dimensional. From there, the CD continues a kaleidoscopic journey of piercing string plucks, bagpipe-like tones, and sprightly harmonics. By the end, the spacy, floating wah-wahs will have the listener drifting away on clouds.

Great Gift for The Boss.......2007-02-14

I gave this to my boss for a present and he loved it. What a great way to get the Boss to be calm and happy.

A favorite pick for my clients and myself.......2006-03-25

This cd should be in the 'Massage Music Hall of Fame'. Over 60 minutes and truly divine.

Another great release from the series!.......2005-04-20

There's no question about it - five stars for this new volume in the Detaching the World series! I have a massage and polarity therapy practice in which this music is perfect for. My clients comment that the music definitely adds to the goal of achieving balance and total relaxation within. It's calming, soothing and peaceful in all the ways it should be. I often have trouble finding such even and well balanced music for my practice but this series is a great find. Currently I have Vol. 1, 2 & 3 of the Detaching the World series and will keep an eye out for more. They create the perfect atmosphere and assist with the healing intentions of my work. I highly reccomend Detaching the World music as a whole, but I think that Vol. 3 is my favorite of the three so far.

A wonderful well balanced accompaniment to massage .......2004-12-18

I recently purchased Detaching the World's volume 3 cd at an AMTA annual event held in Boxborough, MA. In the exhibit hall I noticed the record label had a booth promoting the third release from this artist. Me being an avid fan of the artist's work, I immediately stood in line to have him sign my new purchase. Even though the booth was swarmed with other therapists requesting signed cds and asking a ton of questions, he had this ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. This composure he showed embodies in the music he creates.

Detaching the World volume 3 is a luscious beautiful compilation that flows extremely well with massage. It is well balanced and matches perfectly with the energy work I give. Each song seems to stream into one another without any loud volume changes or increased pace. Even though this cd is my new favorite in the collection, I would highly recommend the entire series to any therapist looking for soothing background music as an accompaniment to massage.

As well as digitally restored original soundtrack music by the undervalued Gray and Easdale, this carefully researched CD also features a number of rare associated recordings, including John Gielgud's reading of An Airman's Letter to his Mother (1941), the lively quickstep Commando Patrol from Col. Blimp and A Canterbury Tale, and a superlative rendering of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, recorded by Albert Schweitzer in London in 1935, also featured in A Canterbury Tale. The booklet features detailed notes on the films and their accompanying scores, and well as biographies of Allan Gray and Brian Easdale. The CD is a must for all with an interest in vintage film soundtracks and British light/orchestral music, as well as the dazzling vision of Michael Powell and his musical collaborators.

Album Description

For my money, of all the modern bands it's The Supertones who best represent the spirit of The Ventures. They have that knack of treating cover versions in just the right way, retaining the essential ingredients and adding their own touches to develop an original performance. Just over half of these tracks are covers and they are distributed in twos and threes throughout the album. Lonely Bull is great, as ever. Stranger in Paradise sparkles with energy, A Taste Of Honey is taken fairly straight but Perfidia, in The Ventures version here, has a kind of stripped down feel whilst being delivered with all four instruments sounding rich and upfront in the mix. Morgan is another from The Ventures' early songbook and again it's great to hear it taken so seriously, the added piano bringing a welcome diversion. Scrambler is the first of two Sandals covers, Endless Summer is the other, and they are both exquisite in their own way. Whilst Scrambler races off moodily into the distance, Endless Summer is the ultimate in evocative teen beach romance. Parked between them are two Lee Hazelwood numbers written for The Astronauts' Surfin' album. The Supertones take Movin's pace down a notch which allows them to add a good deal more feel, a major success guys! It's all guitars blazing for Baja, variety coming with the addition of a few keyboard fills. So how do the originals match up? Very well actually. Surf Fever 2000 itself has the feel of a speeded up Besame Mucho, an impression no doubt enhanced by the tasty 6-string bass lead. There's a hint of Kon-Tiki about the melody of Playa Del Rey, its rich summer sound contrasted by the slightly distorted bite of Moonshot Part 1. A bright ringing lead decorates the mid-tempo Side Slippin' until a reverbed guitar cascade introduces the surfer Sweet Ride with its Gary Usher styled piano-tapping support. Media Noche is an upbeat surf ballad and another winner. Moonshot Part 2 is altogether much better, this time the theme taken by a richly echoed guitar accompanied by organ. Surf Fever 2000 is another winner from The Supertones -- Alan Taylor, Pipeline #44, Surrey, UK

The Second Coming of The Ventures!.......2001-12-20

Now this is what Surf music is all about! The Supertones get the coolest tone from those guitars and lots of cool reverb. I wish I could see these guys perform as I'm sure they must be one hot band live. My favorites: Side Slippin (just close your eyes and dream about lying on the beach after a nice morning ride), The Sweet Ride (classic Dick Dale-type surf guitar - hey where's Gidget?), Moonshot Part 2 (a modern classic in the vein of Telstar - it's a shame that radio sucks so much they won't play cool stuff like this!), Media Noche (muy bueno amigo, si!) and the partyingest tune of all - "Surf Fever 2000" (makes me want to have a beach party with all my friends). The best thing about this disk is that it contains 20 songs - over 55 minutes of music! Now thats real value for your (...) bucks!

Addicting, emotionally exploitive.......2006-11-22

Since my first introduction to this band on myspace, I have become an avid fan. This music must have some sort of code in it that makes you become emotionally addicted to the songs and the band.
Drove a total of 20 hours to see them play and it was worth every mile.
Second album will knock our socks off no doubt.

Vulpine = Metalica + REM (for now).......2006-09-24

Nice little starter disc. Yup, they pass their high school music exam. If they can come up with something punchy, personal and passionate, they might have a breakthrough second or third album. Check out Flyleaf (but ignore their title track "I'm So Sick") as an example of a new band playing from the heart rather than the studio.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-05-13

THESE GUYS ARE GREAT!!!!!! YOU CAN PUT CD IN AND LET IT PLAY NO SKIP BUTTON NEEDED ON THIS ONE.

Product Description

The Sacred Sounds series consists of recordings of sounds that release encoded metaphysical information, while being played. The listener and the environment are being harmonized on a very deep level, by resonating to the Sacred Sounds which not only retune the cells of the body, but also retune mind and soul. Effortless balance can be achieved without even paying attention to the music or the sound that carries it. One can feel the energy of the environment being completely transformed. THE OM SOUND consists of one continuous track of 59 minutes. Ideal for meditation, massage, healing, especially REIKI and sleep therapy, it has been used successfully by many teachers, masters and healers. The creation of THE OM SOUND is based on many teachings and secret knowledge that has not been available to mankind for thousands of years. But the Keepers of Sound from many cultures have kept this knowledge and information, which has been encoded in these recordings alive! over the centuries. Oral and written information, intuition and channeling, scientific studies, artistic and visionary creativity has been used to create a series of recordings that facilitates the ancient wisdom of sound.

Classic hypnotic.......2006-05-21

One low base synth organ like chord held constant throughout the piece, with small variations in the background barely perceptible, almost subconscious. My non 'New Age Music' friends just stare at me blank and say "I could have done that with one finger!" It's the small variations in the background that hold it together. This is music that's always changing yet always the same. An interesting paradox that she has superbly mastered. If you just glance at it it's just a base chord, but if you listen closely, there's always things happening, so it never gets stale. Hypnotic music to meditate by. (Very hypnotic)
