Zen Breakfast

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Though the disc's name suggests oriental roots, the music created by this German-born keyboardist (his adopted name is Sanskrit for "compassion") is primarily occidental in character. Built around simple piano melodies augmented by spacious synthesizer backdrops, flute, delicate guitar, higher-pitched Kitaro-like keyboard lines, zither, chimes, bells, and Eastern vocals, Zen Breakfast tilts heavily toward the yoga/meditation end of the New Age continuum with its assortment of slowly evolving soundscapes. Comparisons to Steve Halpern are inevitable. This is a modest production that visits well-traveled sonic territory without adding fresh ideas. Intended to be slow and restive, Karunesh's compositions sometimes acquire the tone of a lament, giving the disc an atmosphere that mixes clouds and light. Zen Breakfast is suitable for massage, but for best results shuffle-play it with other discs. --Terry Wood

Product Description
Weaving exotic voices and cross-cultural elements through his sparkling tapestry, Karunesh finds that perfect balance point where classical, world and healing music join, carefully coaxing love's caress from every note.

Zen Breakfast Review.......2007-01-31

Outstanding...would give it 6 stars if I could. Perfect unwinding music at home at the end of the day, or equally perfect as background music at work...keeps me relaxed during the pressures of the day. Very worthwhile purchase.

Serenity.......2006-05-20

Beautiful Album. This album has sparked a newfound liking to this type of music for me.

boring.......2005-11-20

This is the first album I've listened to by Karunesh since
his earlier, extremely varied and creative work "Sky's Beyond". This one is boring and repetitious to the MAX, and Govi is about the best thing about the album, all of a total of 4 or 5 minutes!
As one cut, it is beautiful and relaxing, but multiply it by 10
and it becomes a rip-off, at least in IMHO.

His best album.......2004-11-26

This album to my taste is by far the best work of Karunesh (I have listened to 17 of his titles). I can listen to it almost indefinite amount of times and don't seem to get tired. I just wish "The Inner Temple" composition was a part of this album. :)

Lilting Meditative Music.......2003-11-11

Zen Breakfast is just gorgeous! Its haunting, lilting melodies in instrumentation and voice are very tranquil and meditative. I first heard it during a session of Chinese Traditional Medical Massage and requested the name of the CD, so that I could use it at home for meditation and just pure relaxation. It takes one to other worlds. I cannot wait to try some of the other music of Karunesh.
