5 out of 5 stars Nice massage music. .......2007-06-09

I own a day spa and my therapists all enjoy this music. It is great for relaxation.

5 out of 5 stars The Best of Ambient Music.......2005-10-22

This is the sort of rare CD that you can turn on, set "repeat CD" and not touch it for the day; or even for days! I have had this CD for many, many years... and it has never lost its appeal. PS: This is NOT "upbeat" jazzy ambient; but, mellow "calm you down" ambient. Each track is unique.

4 out of 5 stars Lydia.......2005-05-21

Most of the tracks on this album are very good, but Lydia by Tim Story is special. It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I have ever come across.

5 out of 5 stars A tapestry of earth and music..........2002-09-06

This is a marvelously moving album to experience. While all the artists are different the album flows together very nicely. It moves along at its own pace, far far different than the pace of much of the everyday world in which we live. It is mellow and is not something you actively listen to although over time the melodies become quite clear and, oddly enough, captivating even exciting, though on a different level.

Play it in the background or play it in the car and suddenly an entirely different ambience is created. It's a beautiful work. I never tire of it and it embraces whatever mood I'm in and allows it to unfold in a rhythm all its own. You won't regret it a bit.

5 out of 5 stars Path for yoga, for relaxation.......2000-10-16

As a Yoga instructor and artist I am constantly seaching for that special flow- that music that you consciously hear as you begin yoga or meditation, but has the ability to disappear into the recesses of your mind as your awareness attunes to a different level. Path invokes relaxation. It is fast enough to use in anything involving movement, yet not so fast you feel hurried in any way. I am not sure that it would be slow enough for pure meditation. Every musical creation on this CD is different, yet it flows seemlessly. I also bought YogaZone, Music for Yoga- it was good-a few shared artists- but nothing compared to Path. If you are looking for a complement to your yoga, or want some music to create a relaxed atomosphere this is it!

I heard this album when I was in my 1-didgets and I must say, this is a good album for the following.

#1: Dancing

#2: Mediation

#3: Yoga/Stretching

#4: Martial Arts

If you need some relaxation for you body, mind and soul, don't hesitate to purchase this.

4 out of 5 stars Moving to the Music, a personal & "daily" practice.......2001-03-20

I first learned of Gabrielle Roth at a Sacred Path men's retreat. The retreat focused on sacred movement, attaching emotions & totems to each of Roth's five dance styles: flowing, stacatto, chaos, lyrical, and stillness. We had live drumming at the retreat and didn't use recorded music. On the way home, however, I stopped and bought a copy of INITIATION so I could work through the rhythms myself.

If not danced to, the music is OK, nothing spectacular. It's not particularly great party dance music, either. But as the basis for an embodied spiritual practice? Wow! It's hard to beat.

I open up with flowing, connecting with Goddess, connecting with Earth, connecting with Ancestors, connecting with Spirit, connecting with Heart. I let my body move in flowing motions, softly, gently, slowly opening, encompassing more and more.

Moving on to stacatto, I move into a new energy space. Man, the toolmaker, not simply flowing with the current, but carving out a life. My energy level is rising. Into this movement I pour my plans, my goals, all that I would control.

The third movement, Chaos, seems to be the natural result of carving out my expectations from life. I let my body move wildly, struggling to control the rhythm, to push the river, to herd cats. This is where I bring my anger, frustration, and fear, letting the emotions flow through body language, in which no lie can be enacted.

The exhaustion of Chaos leads naturally into the rest of lyrical movement. It's discovering a new level of peace, of connectedness with the Universe, with Goddess, with Spirit; knowing that I'm not alone in the Chaos.

Finally, comes stillness, where I allow my motions to wind down, allow my body to slow down, to come to rest, to enter into meditation.

I've not worked with the other body music on the CD, I don't have enough time most days to work through the five rhythms. But that leaves me something to look forward to.

5 out of 5 stars AMAZING!.......2000-03-23

This is one of the most magical CDs I've ever heard. The music is purifying. It helps to focus my mind at the end of the day when I need to relax.

3 out of 5 stars not her best.......2005-05-09

I love Gabrielle Roth, and have worn out copies of "initiation" and "bones", but this CD just gathers dust for me insteading of making me want to dance.

5 out of 5 stars Unique.......2000-05-31

Too many albums put the word "Tibetan" in the title and end up being the artificial flavor of the month. This CD, on the other hand, is the only one I've found (and I've bought dozens looking) that really bridges the gap between the Tibetan sense of sacred mystery, and the musical vernacular of the west. And with a Russian rock star no less! Listen to this album, and you will find your mind has reached a still place that other "Tibetan" music cannot touch.

For those who are addicted to the western sound "byte" culture, a five word review: YOU MUST BUY THIS ALBUM!

3 out of 5 stars Great tape for yoga and meditation.......1999-07-29

We use this tape in my yoga class during the beginning centering meditation and Chen Rezi is just the most beautiful and awesomely calming piece of music I have heard. As a matter of fact I intend to use this when I am in labor, as I am expecting my third child this December. Namaste!

5 out of 5 stars Trance Music - Takes You to Another Place.......2004-06-03

This is my favorite music of the two Gabrielle Roth and the Mirrors music I own. When I listen ... the first thing I hear is the rhythm and drum beats. They help me focus. As my mind calms down and body relaxes ... In track #1, "The Lonesome Song" - the native flute music, takes the listener to another time and place, where the spirit roams free but is alone, looking for the missing connection ... to another soul.On #2 "Oceana" my feelings ride the sound waves of the viola. There are haunting vocals that add depth and an other-worldly feeling to the music. In track #3, "Cloud Mountain", the kora, an African harp-like stringed instrument, along with the oboe and English horn are heard above the very enchanting drum beats. The most outstanding feature of all the tracks is the ritualistic drum ... keeps the unconcsious mind connected to its primordial roots. In track #4 "Prairie Runs", the rainstick is shaken at unexpected intervals ... to awaken the spiritual elements within the listener. Always, the drum beats connect the listener to the primitive aspects of the soul. This is trance-inducing music of the highest order. Highly recommended. Erika Borsos (erikab93)

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2004-05-31

An amazing cd- Gabrielle Roth and the mirriors are a haunting group whose music will stay with you for a long time. A friend recomended this cd to me and also their other cd "Bones"(Also a superb cd) and i fell in love. everyone should own one to help relax and to promote peace through out everywhere

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing and centering.......2000-06-24

Don't take this the wrong way--but this CD is wonderful to fall asleep to. The music will calm your mind after a busy day, without dragging you down. Before I go to bed, my mind is often buzzing with thoughts about work, family, friends. Once I turn on the stereo, all of that stops. Sometimes I want to think about something, I can't. I just go where the music guides me.

Each selection subtly blends into the next. But each piece is unique, painting mindscapes of beautiful mesas, summer campfires in the forest, or sunset on the beach--depending how you look at it.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic for a Yoga Class or Listening at Home!.......1999-09-21

This is an awesome album - I am a Yoga Instructor - I heard it in another class, and ran up to find out the title of this CD. I play it often, and now my students run up to ask me the title! I listen to it at home - it has rhythm as well as a balanced sound. Fabulous!

This is one of my top desert island CDs. It is incredibly soothing, grounding and quiet -- but strong, too. The music is absolutely mesmerizing, with beautiful music on top of quiet drumming. I love all of Gabrielle Roth's CDs, but this one is my favorite. This is the CD I put in every Sunday morning, early, before the rest of the world wakes up.

My yoga teacher used this CD last night in class and I loved it. The last piece for shivasana particularly moved me; I found it very wonderful and inspiring. I enjoyed it so much I am here buying the CD. I would highly recommend this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Sundari: Jivamukti Yoga.......2004-11-04

I am on this site to order this CD again!! Unfortunately I left this this awesome CD in a stero in one of the many gyms I teach in. It is a funky type of music and spirtually uplifting. My clients (yogis) love it. I decided to review it while I was here. Buy it!! Your yoga student will love you and your class.

3 out of 5 stars Misleading title, not truly a "class".......2004-08-29

This is an audio CD with music only, there is no voice-over with a guided routine, which is what I thought I was getting when I purchased this CD. Don't be mislead!! What is included, however, is a mini-poster of a routine that is suggested to go along with this collection of songs. I ended up doing my own routine, which was fine, but sometimes when you are doing yoga, you don't want to have to think about what to do next, it's nice to be "told" versus worrying about whether or not you did the same sequence of poses on the other side. (Yogi's, you know what I mean!) The music selection is average, very tribal in nature. The very last track is potentially distracting, unfortunate since you should be in sivasana at the end. Overall, average, I would recommend Yoga Rhythm By Soulfood instead.

3 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected.......2003-11-26

This CD doesn't include any guided poses. There is a sheet with drawings illustrating a sequence of poses (poorly done and hard to decipher). I was expecting something akin to the Yogi's Companion...

2 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not exactly my thing...........2003-04-12

Some good tracks on this CD, and probably quite nice overall if you teach a very spiritually-oriented class. Admittedly, I bought this CD out of curiosity and don't mind listening to most of it on a casual basis. It's about as good as the classic Asana CD, overall.

The reason I don't use it in class is very simple. The vocal and lyric of the final cut is obnoxiously repetitive and terribly self-important. Not exactly what I what when I'm setting the mood for Savasana (final resting pose).

Following up their landmark 1993 revival of Carousel, London's Royal National Theatre delivers another pillar of the Rodgers and Hammerstein canon with their 1998 production of Oklahoma! As on the earlier CD, Oklahoma! provides a generous amount of music (74 minutes) by including integral dance music (including Laurey's dream ballet and passages of "Kansas City") and connecting dialogue, resulting in a more complete theatrical experience than most recordings provide. It also includes two songs that were cut from the film, the grammatically incorrect but vigorous chorus number "It's a Scandal, It's a Outrage" and Jud's powerful lament, "Lonely Room." Hugh Jackman excels as Curly, while Josefina Gabrielle is an effective Laurey. Filling out the strong cast are Maureen Lipman as Aunt Eller, Jimmy Johnston as Will, Vicki Simon as Ado Annie, and Shuler Hensley as Jud; and thankfully, British accents are not prevalent on this plain. The booklet includes production notes and a synopsis with photos, but no lyrics. Of course, the question in most minds might be whether you need to make room on your shelf for another recording of Oklahoma! When it's this well done, the answer is yes. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Americans do this better........2006-07-22

Not on a par with the RSC earlier masterpiece revival of Carousel. With the exception of Hugh Jackman,who can't seem to take one wrong step on a stage, this version doesn't compare to the 1979 revival. This cast isn't in the same league as the American cast of Christine Andreas, Martin Vidnovic and particularly Christine Ebersole as Ado Annie.

5 out of 5 stars Darker than the original maybe, but definately worth owning!.......2006-03-25

I loved this!! I'm sure that some people will not like the fact that this Curly has a darker side to him and that Jud is not all evil. To have the three leads also doing the ballet/dream sequence just made this movie that much better. I can definately recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the original Oklahoma. This will not take anything away from the original but can only add to your enjoyment.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Album.......2006-02-25

I have been involved with theatre in different capacities over the last 30 years. Trevor Nunn's production is by far the best I've seen or heard. The cast outstanding. Mr. Jackman and Mr. Hensley have a great presence. Their duet of "Pore Jud is Daid" is both funny and touching.

5 out of 5 stars Give a full-throated O.K.! to this Oklahoma!.......2006-02-23

This recording of the groundbreaking first R&H musical should arguably considered as one of the finest of its many recordings. It's true that the film soundtrack gives a definitive performance of the score, but this energetic, peppy version gives the musical its maximum oomph. The cast gives a stellar rendition of the score, and act out their parts charismatically and convincingly, even though the accents are not always authentic Southern accents. Hugh Jackman heads the cast with a rich, sumptuous portrayal of Curly, shining vocally from the first phrase of Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'. He is well-partnered by the pert, ambivalent yet tender Laurey of Josefina Gabrielle. Gabrielle also shines vocally on Many a New Day and exudes a wonderful chemistry during People Will Say We're in Love. The supporting cast is equally characterful, with Maureen Lipman a caustic Aunt Eller, contrasting against the dark hues of Shuler Hensley's Jud. Hensley's vivid portrayal of Jud adds an extra dimension to the character during the rarely-heard Lonely Room. Vicki Simon and Jimmy Johnstone make a perfectly delicious and comic pairing of Ado Annie and Will, and their moments individually and together are always a delight to hear, especially I Cain't Say No and All er Nothin'. The orchestra under John Owen Edwards is top-notch and plays this score superbly, especially the new dance arrangements that sound newly-minted, yet respectful of the originals. The presentation is splended, with a lavish booklet packed with photos, and a crisp, clean modern recording. All told, this version of Oklahoma! should certainly be highly recommended, and should elicit a spontaneous "YEOW!" from anyone who is willing to be charmed by it. I'm sure that more people will come to appreciate it and give this version its long-overdue O.K.

5 out of 5 stars quite possibly the definitive OKLAHOMA!.......2005-03-02

This fantastic OKLAHOMA! cast album features the acclaimed 1998 National Theatre revival cast headed by Hugh Jackman and Josefina Gabrielle. Mary Rodgers (the daughter of Richard Rodgers) has called this production the finest OKLAHOMA! she has ever attended. A full taped performance of the revival is available on DVD and highly-recommended from this corner. Hugh Jackman has a luscious voice as Curly, singing powerfully in all his numbers, and he performs "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin'" like the song was only written yesterday. Josefina Gabrielle has a winsome quality as Laurey, and her "Out of My Dreams" is fantastic. "Many a New Day" is performed as her stridant anthem that she can do very well without the attentions of the opposite sex. This recording is further-enhanced by the all-new "Dream Ballet" orchestrated by William David Brohn, which takes as its starting point the original version but adds some fresh new touches. Be warned though: as it appears on the recording, the "Dream Ballet" has been slightly-abriged due to length purposes (for the full piece, refer to the DVD). Maureen Lipman is a sardonic delight as Aunt Eller, Vicki Simon belts Ado Annie's "I Cain't Say No" to perfection and Jimmy Johnston is fantastic as Will Parker. Shuler Hensley perfectly captures the intense and brooding nature of Jud Frye with the haunting "Lonely Room". One of the best OKLAHOMA! cast album efforts.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended.......2002-08-20

This pricey UK import CD filled a lot of gaps in my music collection and is an excellent overview of notable music of (mostly) recent films. It's difficult to find consistently listenable soundtrack collections like this, by that I mean free from the obligitory Whitney Houston or Celine Dion embarrassments. Usually rights issues prevent comprehensive compilations like this in the US, too. While I enjoy a lot of soundtrack music, there aren't so many complete soundtracks that I would care to own, some examples of exceptions being Ennio Morricone scores and the About a Boy Soundtrack. While certainly most of these tracks are the actual recordings used in their respective films, I noticed that "La mamma morte" from Philadelphia is not the Maria Callas version. There might be other cases like this, I'm not sure. And "Unchained Melody" from Ghost is an orchestral version, not the pop song (but I consider this a plus). This collection seems to focus on the subtle and quirky, yet melodic music of indie films, with less emphasis on the loud sweeping orchestral scores of major Hollywood hits, but of course there are a few like Gladiator and Braveheart, which are welcome here because like I've said, I probably wouldn't listen to the whole score. I love the two Thomas Newman compositions from American Beauty, and it's good to have some music from films by the Cohen Brothers here. My only complaint would have to be the order of the songs. You would think they would avoid jumping back and forth between pop songs, orchestral scores, and quiet music, but it just seems thrown together by random. I would compare this collection to the excellent "Miramax Films Greatest Hits" but the makers of that album knew to group the two pop/rock songs at the end.
