Product Description
Nijole (nee-YOH-luh) writes sensual melodic songs with mystical landscapes, exotic twists, and lyrics to uplift and inspire. Accompanying her delicate lead vocals, she performs layers of Lithuanian background vocals, hinting of the choirs she grew up with in Chicago. The production of Fritz Heede features gifted players on ethnic percussion, stringed instruments, flutes, violins, as well as classical cello, electric guitars and synthesizers. Overall, Parallel Universe is a powerful journey for the heart and soul.Customer Reviews:

Outstanding music.......2004-07-16
The music is a fusion of world music, trance, and New Age, with hints of Enigma and Dead Can Dance. It is a delicious blend of traditional instruments like sitar, oud, douduk, and ethnic percussion, with vocal overtone chants, modern keyboards and guitar. Heede does a fantastic job of creating a lush tapestry of sonic textures and rhythms that feel ancient and modern all at once. He manages to make it sound sophisticated yet tribal at the same time, no mean feat.
I immediately started using this music for meditation and visualization. I had the DVD first and was so impressed by the music that I got the CD to save wear and tear on the DVD. I also use the program feature on my CD player (which is better than that on my DVD player) to program a specific sequence of songs for different meditations or magickal work. This music has a deeply spiritual feel, and I find it works very well for my style of meditation.
I find the music and the recording very well done. I think Heede is very good at composing this type of music, and another CD of his, Mystery of the Sphinx, is very nearly as good as this, although with fewer cuts. Both were done as soundtracks, this for Bank's animations and Mystery of the Sphinx for a TV show.
I highly recommend this CD if you like this kind of music. I find that very few CDs excite me as much as this one does. It is very much worth having.
