Slow World

Editorial Reviews
Scott Judd, Heartsong Review
This is a perfect ambient album . . .

Product Description
Slow World is the second album of deep relaxation music by Liquid Mind, the name used by Los Angeles composer & songwriter Chuck Wild for his series of very slow stress relief music albums. My Liquid Mind albums seem to have an immediate "slowing down" effect onlisteners, and may help people get to sleep, or to calm down after a tension-filled day. uninterrupted relaxation, the ideal companion for those working long hours at computers terminals who suffer from the effects of stress. The music of Liquid Mind is great music to massage to, great music to create to, great music to go to sleep by, great music for those intimate moments with one you love. This functional and peaceful album is also used by parents to quiet hyperactive children, and to assist themselves in going back to sleep in the middle of a difficult night.

Excellent Intro for Those Not Familiar with the Orchestra.......2003-11-08

The narrator and writer is a great speaker and holds your attention well. He is definitely knowledgeable. He provides musical examples for each point he makes, so you get to "hear" what he just talked about. I'd say the CDs are about 65% music and 35% narration. You'll learn about the range of instruments, some history, different ways to play them, how they sound, and how they are used in the orchestra. This CD set was a great learning experience and is sold at such a low price!

I recommend this CD for those who want to learn about classical music and those who know about it but are interested in learning more about the inner workings of an orchestra. You'll learn much useful information. For instance, the Rite of Spring (with that eerie start) is written for bassoon! I never knew a bassoon could sound like that but now I do.

The one complaint I have is the last CD. This deals with the orchestra. I wanted more of a tour of how the orchestra has been used through history up to the present. Instead, it was a tour of how different groups of instruments sound. I thought it could have been better. The other 6 CDs are excellent.

Nagyszeru!! (Excellent!).......2003-04-05

A sort of concept album, Muzsikas and Marta Sebestyen perform some serious musical detective work in The Bartok Album, juxtaposing original phonograph field recordings from a century ago by Bartok himself alongside excerpts from his works which clearly reflect these folkloric influences. Finally, we are treated with Muzsikas' own renditions of these classic folk pieces, executed with the perfect mix of flawless technique and earthy exuberance, not to mention the magnificent haunting vocals of Sebestyen.

Particularly intriguing are the swineherd and shepherd songs, among the most ancient styles in the Carpathian Basin. The long flute on the Shepherd's Flute Song, beautifully played by Zoltan Juhasz, has an ethereal otherworldly quality and contrasts most favourably with the spirited ugros dances that precede it. The carefully chosen clips from Bartok's musical archives clearly show the link between his field recordings and subsequent compositions, such that the listener gets an idea of just how influential folkloric elements were in Bartok's work. Fascinating for anyone with even a casual interest in Bartok, ethnomusicology, or the unique musical styles found in Transdanubia and Transylvania, or just for anyone who needs a frenetic folk-dancing workout.

All in all, an absolutely top-notch album in every sense of the word, and highly recommended to any fan of great music!

The Real Deal.......2002-06-28

I've seen other reviewers express disappointment that the ensemble didn't perform/arrange the work in the fashion Bartok himself would have, ie, classical mode, but that would have diluted the whole point: the people who performed the songs for the Bartok's microphone (clips of the original field recordings Bartok made are presented inbetween the modern renditions) didn't make music for upper-crust performance halls and Sony Classical, they played it in the intimacy of their everyday lives and communities. By presenting the songs in this context, the album reminds us of a time and place when popular music had real communal value not measured in units sold.

Re-living the past.......2000-06-20

- Bela Bartok's genius for documenting folk melodies

- Muzsikas orchestra whish reproduces traditional music with passion

- guest star Marta Sebastian, passionate voice to reveale sadness from Transilvania

- and last but not least - Alexander Balanescu, precious performer and great experimentator.

I was lucky enough to see the concert in Budapest. May 2000, where many songs from "The Bartok Album" were introduced. On the recording it is possible to hear only the echo of the stomping dance that gives the rythm to the music, and you can only imagine antiend and rude instruments that, played together with virtuose violine, compose timeless tunes that Bartok saved from extintion.

Still, the advantage that CD has over the live performance are recordings from the museum archives, valuable historical docuemntation of traditional music from Hungary and Romania, as well as very well equiped booklet with descritions and translations of many songs.

Highly recomended album, that offers diverse types of joy - to listen, to read and to dance along :-)

Sensual Dance Returns In Triumph.......2004-10-31

spellbinding ,evocative and accessible bellydance music.......2002-07-06

Rarely does one get to experience a musician so intensely at one with the music, an extension of the instrument, at once fiery and intently grounded, rooted inwardly in compelling concentration to the hidden core pulse at the center of sound.

The recorded music on the 2 CD set "The Sensual Art of BellyDance" ( Available through AMOZON) -- music composed and performed by Ron Wagner--- is equally entrancing and inwardly rooting.

The first time I listened to "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Slow Rhythms" I was transported, carried meditatively into the vastness and beauty of the desert landscape, the camel caravan, the walking of women, of centuries of nomadic caravan over sandy arid hills. I was taken inward to the center of my own meditative dance until there was no vision, no desert mirage remaining...only the dance. Subsequent listenings readily return me to this quiet and delicious meditative vastness .

The other CD, "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Fast Rhythms" has, time and again transformed the hatha yoga classes that I teach, into gatherings at the oasis, celebrations of women sharing their intimate prayer dance and sensual aliveness. Through this music women of all cultural backgrounds ,representing the widest possible range of training, skill level ,body awareness and comfort (with bellydance, hatha yoga, and being seen in their dance)...have spontaneously re-discovered their grace, fluidity, strength and playfulness...the pure joy of movement and their body's innate knowing of the dance. The clean, fresh accessibility of this recording in fact inspired my own boldness in introducing bellydance into my yoga classes. Without any dance instruction, This music inspires novice and "born-dancer" alike to "come home" to their dance.

What more could any dancer, yoga or bellydance teacher, anyone interested in awakening embodied consciousness ask for?? These 2 CDs are magical carpet rides that can take you or your students flying to unknown, surprising destinations...

Highly recommended for meditative yoga or dance : " The Sensual Art of BellyDance -Slow Rhythms" .
Highly recommended for exuberant yoga or dance: "The Sensual Art of BellyDance - Fast Rhythms".

"The Sensual Art of BellyDance" by Ron Wagner - 2 CD set is a DEFINITE WORTHWHILE and UNIQUE addition to my rather extensive CD collection of music .

Of all the solo guitar albums in my collection, this is the most expressive and poignant.

The performance is masterful, intricate and sensitive. There is a wide mastery of inflection and style.

Gerald Garcia is one of the true masters of solo guitar at any level much less Brazilian. (This album was recorded in 1988.)

So treat yourself to the best 72'46" of listening pleasure.

There is a generous number of tracks here, displaying the wealth of work by a great guitarist. More importantly, the repetoire on the album moves away from the standard Albeniz, Granados, Tarrega, Sor collections that so many classical guitarists feel compelled to release. The pieces are probably familiar to most classical guitarists who enjoy playing Brasilian music, but, for those who've never heard or played the works of Almeida, Baden-Powell, Savio or Machado it will be a pleasant surprise. And for people who just like nice music, it will be a fantastic investment.

Finally, it is not true that there is no new material here. Specifically, it includes two tracks by the esteemed cellist David Darling that will not be released until late August 2001, and a beautiful new choral track by Bill Douglas that was not out at the time this compilation was released.

But the most important reason SLOW MUSIC FOR FAST TIMES should be of interest to buyers is the value proposition built into it, which is a DOUBLE album with over 140 minutes of high quality, carefully selected and sequenced (the opposite of "scattershot") material for the price of SINGLE CD. We think it represents an excellent value and stand behind the quality of both the compilation and each and every piece included.

websites offers 30 second samples of every piece, and I urge prospective buyers to judge for themselves rather than believing a highly biased 'reviewer.'

King's College Choir Proves Its Mastery Again.......2001-03-20

I am especially delighted with the attention to program on this CD. From following Tallis's lavishly dense "Lamentations" with his thrillingly sparse "O Nata Lux" (full of tasty cross relations), to following Taverner's "Dum transisset Sabbatum I" with the well known Easter hymn, "Jesus Christ is risen today," careful attention is given to pacing and contrast over the generous 73 min 18 sec of the recording.

If I were to select two items worthy of special note, I'd point you to Lotti's "Crucifixus" and Kenneth Leighton's "Let all the world in every corner sing." The first is certainly the most exquisite use of dissonance I've ever heard in a Baroque choral work. Burney records in his 1770 diaries that the Italian choir brought him to tears when it nailed the entries on dissonant suspensions, and this recording shows you exactly what he was talking about. In the context of this program, Leighton's anthem is also a thrilling piece of work. Though decidedly modern, it uses modern organ and choral writing to the service of the text. Never do I pull back and think, "Is this weirdness for weirdness' sake?" -- as I do when listening to the works of many moderns, and Gesualdo, for that matter. It is a thrilling ride on the crest of a wave of sound that brings the entire program of King's College Choir's "Music for Holy Week" to an exhilarating conclusion. (I don't know any other work by him. Surely this isn't unique in his catalog.)
