Album Description

While other genre labels like Narada and Windham Hill diversified from their new age roots, Real Music has been consistent over the years in providing nothing but the best music for relaxation, meditation and spiritual enhancement. Their most notable recordings come from an Eastern Buddhist mindset, with multi-instrumentalist Karunesh leading the pack on the strength of previous discs Zen Breakfast and Nirvana Café. His basic approach to contemplative music involves a blend of exotic textures (bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls, sitar and Chinese instruments) with easy grooves and rich walls of ambience. The new collection's trance inducing instrumentation and sensuous rhythms begins with a few minutes of pure ambience and sitar, before slowly introducing a gentle percussive line ("For the Joy of It All"); Avinash's graceful Indian violin carries a mournful beauty that is also part of the similarly hypnotic, easy grooving "Monsoon's Dance." Bikram's Bansuri flute floats through beautifully in key locations, such as the introduction of "Mount Kailash." While the uninitiated might feel that there's a certain repetitive nature to the tracks (which usually begin with sparse instrumentation before the electricity is turned on), the intention is more to invoke a sense of inner peace than to be truly innovative. The title of the richly textured "Zensual" sums up the mystical intent of the thought provoking exercise.

5 out of 5 stars The pleasure in the feeling of non-existence.......2006-05-28

I heard the song "Monsoon Dance" on sky.fm. I previewed other songs and then bought almost all songs. Others are fine too, just listened once.

It's been 4 days since I bought them. I am not listening to any other song than Monsoon Dance for almost 4 days, day and night.. I am usually obsessed with these kind of mystic songs, listening to one song at a time for days a stretch, even when I sleep.

Thats the effect of the song Monsoon Dance. Truly, the mystic feeling of non-existence is an amazing pleasure. I feel one with the entire universe when I listen to this song.

I wonder what the composer might have gone through to come up with such an amazing piece of music. The Indian violin's effect is rather deep.

5 out of 5 stars ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.......2006-03-10

This is one of the most beautiful CDs I have every heard. I bring it everywhere when I need to relax. The sound of the instruments from India are just breathtaking.

2 out of 5 stars This is great!.......2006-01-12

....if you like really strange, annoying German people who try to go "native." This is nothing but commodified exoticism; music for spiritual enhancement my arse....

5 out of 5 stars Masterful & mystical "new age music" from KARUNESH .......2005-09-23

I discovered the music of this German-born composer/multi-instrumentalist by accident. I was browsing in the new age music section at a certain mega-bookstore, looking for the latest CD from Kitaro (one of my favorite artists.) Well, I didn't find the Kitaro disc that day, but another CD soon caught my eye, one by an artist I'd never heard of - "Call of the Mystic" by Karunesh. Curious about the cover-art and song titles, I put the CD on the store's headphone listening station. I was soon immersed in the music, and intrigued by its exotic sounds. Of course, these were only brief sound clips from the album, so as each snatch of music soon cut off, I was left wanting to hear more. I then came home, found the CD on Amazon, and ordered it (sorry to the bookstore, but your prices were just too high! : ) Anyway, to make a long story short, in the several months since then, I have become a major fan of Karunesh (pronounced "Care-un-ish", which is, I learned, also the sanscrit word for "compassion".) I have now also collected several titles from his extensive back catalog, and while all of his albums have their own strengths, I believe that "Call of the Mystic" still rates as one of his finest overall releases. With it's mystical/mysterious feel, warm synth textures, and heavy use of exotic instruments, this CD literally makes me feel better when I listen to it. I know that the term "healing music" is probably overused in this genre, but in this case the term really fits. It's one of those rare albums that somehow pulls the listener into its World, and transports them to a better state-of-mind for it's duration. (Kitaro is perhaps the only other new age artist who's work has this effect on me.) Like most of Karunesh's works, this album is fully instrumental (So those of you who do not like vocals/lyrics with your new age music will be particularly pleased!), with all of the tracks running in the 5 to 7 minute range (a good length for this type of music.) Now, as people usually like points of comparsion for reviews such as this, I would say that Karunesh falls into the same general "new age/instrumental/electronic" genre as Kitaro, Vangelis, or Patrick O'Hearn (although his music's rarely as gloomy as O'Hearn's can be.) However, comparisons can tend to be a tad misleading, and at the end of the day Karunesh is a unique artist who's music has a personality of its own...Here is a quick rundown of all the tracks: the album opens with "The Joy of It All", an Eastern-flavored track which benefits from a hypnotic percussion groove and the sitar work of special guest Govi (a respected new age artist in his own right.) "Hearing You Now" features piano/flute lines that rotate back and forth, and an ear-catching mix of both electronic & acoustic drumming. "Monsoon's Dance" gives us one of Karunesh's most memorable melodies, played with a gorgeous blend of piano, Indian violin, and synth/percussion backing. "Mount Kailash" has a deeply-spiritual feel, and is highlighted by another guest spot from Govi (this time playing what sounds like an acoustic guitar run through a digital delay effect...quite a beguiling sound, actually!) "Sunrise at the Ganges" is basically a sitar/flute duet set over a backdrop of synth chords and Indian-style drumming. "Zensual" takes on a darker, electronic tone, with some mysterious "reed"-like synth soloing, layers of keyboard ambience, and a sensual rhythmic groove. "And the Grass Grows by Itself" adds some contrast to the pevious track, based mainly around acoustic sounds and a fun, hopeful melody. This track also features the hum of a Tibetan singing bowl (an unusal sound that I have come to like.) Lastly, "Ancient Voices", the only track with no noticable percussion line, is made up almost entirely of sitar and woodwind sounds, and serves to end the album on a peaceful, contemplative note. All in all, this is an album (and artist) that should not be missed if you are a fan of new age music. I will have to agree with what another reviewer said about Amazon's soundclips, though. The brief clips here are all of the opening moments of these songs, before the main themes really kick in - so the CD really does need to be heard in its full context to be truly appreciated. Also, speaking of other reviews, I think it is quite remarkable that of the six customer reviews that have been posted of this CD thus far, EVERY single one has given it a perfect 5 stars!...Amen!

5 out of 5 stars Call of the Mystic~Karunesh.......2005-07-10

Even though this is my first experience with Karunesh, this album was exactly what I expected,...and I enjoyed the different selection of instruments used to evoke a light, whimsical, and meditative feeling of calm. Recommended for light meditation, yoga practice, or massage therapy.

5 out of 5 stars The best singing bowl CD.......2007-05-22

This one is the best tibetan singing bowl CD I have. If you make your own contribution by relaxation, It takes you into the theta brain state easily.

4 out of 5 stars Very good but not the best.......2007-04-10

In my humble opinion, the best Tibetan Bells or bowls cd I have heard is Benjamin Iobst's "7 Metals". It is easier to listen to.

Although I like Becher's offering - don't get me wrong, I do own it and play it - I just think that Iobst's is more listenable and has a better meditative quality. Sometimes Becher's sound patterns seem redundant and almost annoying.

I also highly recommend the crystal bowl offerings of the "Crystal Voices". These have an even higher vibration, that is a more spiritual/mental effect on me, but they too can be annoying if you are not in the mood for them.

For Tibetan Bowls, I have heard about 8 different cd's and I consider Iobst's the best. But Becher's isn't bad.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing grace.......2007-01-25

Not only beautiful but effective, I find listening to this cd very helpful to meditation. Last evening I felt the bowls were ringing me.

5 out of 5 stars Otherworldly.......2006-05-13

I use this CD and his other release for meditation. This artist in a different level than the rest tibetan bowl players. This CD creates a deep level theta trance. The ironic part is that it holds you there throughout the CD.

5 out of 5 stars One with my spirit.......2005-05-27

The sounds from this CD are amazing for meditation or massage. The sounds vibrate deeply within me, slowing my heartbeat, and floating my spirit on waves of bliss. At times the sound is almost electric, deep and thrumming, causing my nerves to resonate. This is my favorite CD for massage. I can leave my body in the capable hands of my massuese, and let my spirit travel to another level.

5 out of 5 stars Deeply Relaxing.......2007-05-11

I'm a yoga teacher who teaches a very nurturing practice called Restorative/Therapeutic Yoga. I use this cd each time i conduct a class, workshop or individual session and find that students are able to really "drop down" into their bodies and let day-to-day life fall away. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars This CD will move you down to your soul!.......2006-12-02

I don't usually write reviews, but this CD really stands out and deserves high marks. Once I listened to the sample tracks, I just had to buy it (I even got one as a Christmas gift for a relative). I was surprised at how deeply the music on this disc touched me. I received it today, and couldn't wait to play it - I wasn't disappointed! It is beautifully done! I have heard other singing bowl CDs, but they are almost too overpowering. This CD has just the right combination of music, and is the most relaxing and peaceful thing I've heard in a long time. The flute, bells, and ocean sounds, in combination with the singing bowls, just melts all the stress of the day away.
I can't wait to listen to it with earphones!
You won't be disappointed with the CD - it's wonderful!
ENJOY! :o)

5 out of 5 stars Truly magical.......2006-08-20

Unlike many new age music which sends you out of the body on melodic fantasies , these compositions bring you deep peace while allowing you to stay present in your body. Anynone who has not heard tibetan bowls before will undoubtely be touched by their multiple sounds and out of range vibrations which are designed to allow humans to experience their divinity within.

5 out of 5 stars Extremely Meditative Music for all the Chakras.......2006-04-18

Golden Spa Tones takes me to a deep space where I can let go of any thoughts and completely relax. The resonant tones of the Tibetan bowls take one on a journey through all the chakras. The deep base tones touch a place deep inside and the higher bowls and flutes lift the spirit. Highly recommended for all healing modalities, yoga and meditation.

Album Description

About this CD (notes from the artist )

Topanga Dreams
Since 1988, I've lived in Topanga, California. This small mountain town has taught me the true meaning of community. By being there for each other, we can make dreams come true. May all your dreams come true...

Katyia's Dance
This song has evolved from being a solo dance performance piece in our Mystic Journey shows into a passionate tango...for two. So grab someone you love and enjoy the dance!

China Lily
This flute was a gift from my Dize (rhymes with pizza) teacher and is one of my favorites. Whenever I play it, I am transported to a place of inner peace and stillness.

Lhasa Love
I found this melody in a book of traditional Chinese folk songs, It was called Tibetan Dance before we transformed it into a lively multicultural boogie!

Aduman
Although there are many dialects spoken in the West African region of Guinea and Mali, the universal word for "sweet" amongst all the tribes is aduman.

Darjeeling Sunrise
Inspired by an Indian sunrise raga, this song reflects the experience that I had when I was on top of Tiger Hill in Darjeeling, India, witnessing a magical sunrise illuminating the awesome Himalayan mountains.

5 out of 5 stars A Poetic Journey..........2004-05-05

I fell in love with the music of The Angels of Venice years ago, and thus when I learned that Suzanne Teng (a former "Angel") had produced a solo work, I was very excited. But the music on this CD easily surpasses anything Teng had done with the Angels of Venice. Lyrical melodies, accompanied by enthnic rhythms on traditional percussion instruments, overlaid with Teng's own haunting performances on Asian flute, transport the listener to another time and another place -- both in this world, and in the "otherworld" created by Teng's mystical music edge. Tibetan singing bowls, Middle-Eastern bells, Celtic strings and a vast assortment of drums and wind instruments create a musical whirlwind that will leave the listener breathlessly awaiting Teng's next musical offering.

4 out of 5 stars Nice!.......2004-01-01

Suzanne Teng, the original flutist with the group "Angels of Venice", breaks out on her own in this playful and exotic 1999 release. Teng shows herself a master of flutistry, not only the playing the standard western "C" flute, but also piccolo, alto and bass flutes, dize (Chinese bamboo flute), ney (Turkish flute) and panpipes. Her tone is rich and liquid, and her improvisations range from jazzy to sinuous to ephemeral depending on the style of the piece. Many of the selections have a strong Near- or Far Eastern flavor, but the mood remains gentle and cheerful throughout the album, without any of the dark intensity that characterizes some of the "Angels'" work. Teng is not alone in "Mystic Journey" either; many guest artists lend their well-established talents to the mix to create ever-varied layers of texture. Gilbert Levy provides intricate world percussion accompaniments, while cellist Martin Tillman, Prince Diabate, Hans Christiansen of Rasa and Greg Ellis of Vas (among others) also pop in to lend a hand, making for a richly orchestrated album that is full of apt and interesting surprises. Occasionally the flute melodies seem a little trite and meandering, qualities that are at odds with the earthy, percussive background, but overall this album is appealing. Teng's simultaneously light and down-to-earth compositions find ways to be relaxing without being boring--a common pitfall for many New Age artists. The music of "Mystic Journey" would be great for warm-ups and slow-dancing for belly dancers, as well as just pleasant listening after a mundane and stressful day at work. Other recordings featuring Suzanne Teng's flute-playing include "Awake Inside a Dream" and "Music for Flute, Harp and Cello" by the Angels of Venice. For more bamboo and metal flute improvisations, in this case without accompaniment, check out also Richard Warner's "Quiet Heart / Spirit Wind".

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!.......2002-07-05

I ordered this CD after only hearing two songs which I "accidentally" heard while flipping the channels of the television. There was a performance done on Public Access and I was surprised to see that a CD was available. I ordered one for myself and a friend who is a yoga instructor. I love this CD! It is perfect for yoga or meditation or even just in the background while working. The music is heartfelt and joyous and everyone who hears it immediately loves it. I would definitly recommend it, especially if you are looking to expand your collection of instrumental music. Personally, I love flute pieces, so this was a perfect choice for me.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous.......2001-06-28

I caught Suzanne Teng & Mystic Journey on vacation at this year's Topanga Days festival, but didn't buy the CD. I thought about their music the whole rest of the trip and ordered the CD as soon as I got home. It's truly magnificent and beautiful music, and I could listen to the CD over and over. Perfect background for anything - reading, meditating, special dinners, yoga, whatever. I find myself getting up just to move to the music. They're all very talented and the CD is a real stress-melter.

5 out of 5 stars Makes you want to listen and dance at the same time.......2000-08-31

This is really an excellent independently-produced CD. Some of the tunes are fairly straight-forward, rhythmic wonders with Ms. Teng's incredible flute playing polishing them off. Others are more "world" sounding incorporating thraot singing and chanting. There is not a bad cut on the CD. Listen to Katiya's Waltz, and try to concentrate on the beautiful music while your feet waltz across the floor.

5 out of 5 stars Singing Bowels?.......2002-08-21

What a great typo THAT was ... thank you, other Mr. Kramer.

This is an excellent CD. The sound quality is superb, and Xumantra allows the natural harmonics and resonances of each bowl to shine through, both individually and in combination with other bowls. The flow of the pieces is superb, and the music created is truly -- and I know this word is utterly overused, particularly in these types of recordings -- transcendant.

If you want the best in singing bowels, I highly suggest a homemade bean burrito -- none of that frozen stuff. And use a little pork fat, while you're at it.

If you want the best in singing bowls, pick up this CD. For meditation, for relaxation/sleepytime, and for listening to the sublime and subtle resonances of these simple-seeming instruments, give a listen to Xumantra.

3 out of 5 stars NONLYRICAL!!.......2002-06-05

I was hoping for something alittle more lyrical....little use of the higher octave bowls here....the ones that produce the most pleasant sounds. This CD will be excellent for meditation, however, since the reverberations of the bowls literally "penetrate" the body and, therefore, carry you to a different plane of consciousness. But to use as "quiet backround" in the home this CD isn't "pleasant" enough...I had hoped to use it for that purpose too.

4 out of 5 stars Xumantra singing bowls.......2001-08-05

For people who like singing bowls it is a good CD though a bit slow.

5 out of 5 stars Best of the meditative "bell"s.......2000-05-07

What makes this outstanding is the way it is recorded...many of this type of recordings become very soft and then abruptly become loud and "blow your trance" or if your using this for sleep music wake you up in a jarring manner...this Cd is as good if not better than any of the singing bowels and this and Karma Moffet are the two best by light years....

5 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2006-01-07

So many good things on this CD I hardly know where to begin, but I'll start by saying that every selection on it is like a divine revelation! The music is exotic as one would expect from Tavener who preceded this music by the "Fall and Resurrection" from which he extracted the theme for "The Hidden Face". And a hypnotic melody it is!"The Hidden Face" is a prayer, for solo countertenor,oboe, and a distant group of muted violins and viols. It deals with the Eastern Orthodox concept of prayer.The disc also includes two other selections involving the countertenor voice with viols:"Apokatastasis" also features Tibetan bowls;the word means:a spititual state of ecstasy. "Nipson" is the title of the second selection and refers to "cleansing the sins." But let's mention the skill it takes for the singer to sing these Tavener tunes. It has to be someone like Michael Chance to handle them for he does bear the brunt of the work on this album. And the closing arrangement of Purcell's "An Evening Hymn" is a refreshing contrast to what comes before. I've had this CD for quite a while and I never get tired of hearing it. Buy and enjoy!!!!

5 out of 5 stars An Exhilarative New Experiment.......2005-06-18

I agree completely rewiew bellow..A kind of inscrutable,abstract beauty comes from of this music and its performers' very good job (and a lot of high notes to Chance on "Apokatástasis").Even to Tavener's fans,this is a fresh,exhilarative experiment.

5 out of 5 stars Strange and wonderful.......2005-05-26

This is an incredibly special album; it changed the way I think about classical music. The first track, written for viola da gamba, oboe, and countertenor, is gentle and heartwrenching. Tavener's beatiful, sustained accompaniment in the strings perfectly compliments the high duet between the oboe and the voice. The album continues from there with more beautiful tracks, including more of Tavener's otherwordly compositions. I highly recommend it for any fan of Tavener, or of spiritual music, or anyone who is up for a new musical experience.

The tones from these bowls are designed to penetrate the particles of rainbow dust which hold together this impermanent illusion, he says.

5 out of 5 stars The Best For Meditation, Yoga, Massage, Healing.......2006-12-07

Karma Moffett has created several wonderful albums of his Tibetan Bells. This is the first and maybe that is why it is my favorite. Tranquility Bells and Chakra Bells are also wonderful. There is no better music for the practice of meditation, for healing work, yoga, or where ever you wish to experience transcendance. Visit his website for information on his other works. This recording is special.

5 out of 5 stars A Special Album.......2006-06-05

Far removed from the airy fairy banality of much new age music, Karma Moffett's 'Golden Bowls' manages to preserve the depth and spirituality of Tibetan bell music without diluting its essence. For meditation, relaxation, or any other quiet moments, this is a classic of the genre.

5 out of 5 stars Guaranteed to send you to another dimension.......2006-02-07

Since the CD Golden Bowls came out, I've bought a number of copies ... two for myself and the others for friends. While I've purchased other CDs of Tibetan music, none comes close to this in the serene otherworldly tones produced as the bowls resonate. Golden Bowls is perfect for meditation. When the world is closing in or I'm anxious and ungrounded, all I have to do is stretch out and listen to the deeply vibrating tones of the bowls as they're struck one by one. They take me to a transcendent place where I seem to float above my body and mind.

4 out of 5 stars slipping.......2006-05-20

I have been a big Stephan Micus fan for quite a few years, but I have to think that his last three CDs show signs his musical inventiveness is progressively slipping. This latest effort retains his honest, commercialism-be-damned approach--for which he should continue to be congratulated--but not very much in the way of listenable musicality. Honesty and spirit are one thing, but entertainment, even in honest and spiritual terms, is another. Here, the koan has taken center stage, in my opinion at the expense of the music(al entertainment). I hate to criticize the plan, but perhaps the first, rather long, narration should have been stretched longer yet to embrace the entire koan (to twenty plus minutes, that is), leaving the rest of the program open to material of greater accessibility. I'm afraid I can only take so much in the way of Zen chants, and I have never considered Micus' vocal powers one of his greatest assets to begin with.

3 out of 5 stars A spiritual rather than musical attempt.......2005-08-05

Micus has always been a genre of his own, representing a unique way of musical expression in an otherwise musically dry 20th century. He dares to explore equipped with his vast knowledge of instruments and his never ending spiritual wandering. All these are more than enough to place him among the most important modern musical figures.

Nevertheless, I tend to believe that his last work crossed a certain threshold: The spirit dominated senses. He uses (or rather, exploits) music to convey his spiritual and rather esoteric message. It would have been quite acceptable should we were talking about a purely religious effort, or about something more inspired like his "Athos" work. But Micus stands for more than this.

I hope that soon we will be back experiencing the sheer magnificence of works like "Towards the Wind", "East of the Night" or "Wings over Water"

4 out of 5 stars Oh Nelly.......2005-07-30

Not the best Micus album...hence the 4 stars, but let me say this...have you ever found yourself wandering aloft amongst the clouds wondering how you got there, wondering what happened to transport you through your own skin to something other than yourself? Well, if not, this album will get you there.

A very emotional journey, a nice blend of a variety of implements allows Micus to challenge us to break through our defenses. You will see that after listening to this album, like the man walking on the cover, you have been stripped of your past and your future, and are left with very little but a desire to warm up with your true self and the home you have been missing.

Micus gets "it", people. Thank God there are people like him to show us the way, at least musically....Peace.

This is one of the most wonderful CDs I ever heard. Klaus Wiese is a master musician. His Tibetan Bowls create healing sound waves that penetrate my entire being. This is music you can have on repeat for days. Always transforming, always harmonizing and always healing.
Highly recommended for Yoga, Meditation and Blissful being!

5 out of 5 stars 55 minutes of tibetan singing bowls.......2006-06-02

German recording artist Klaus Wiese creates an outstanding atmosphere using only (as far as I can tell) Tibetan singing bowls, perfect for healing exercises, meditation, yoga, etc.

There is just one track, but the ever-changing harmonics are not at all monotonous.

The Tibetans say: "Listen to the sound of the Singing Bowls and when the sound is gone keep on listening".
