MELODIES FROM THE PLEIADIES  MELODIES FROM THE PLEIADIES (Code #NA083CD)

Gerald Jay Markoe

This is the second album of music inspired by the Pleiadian star cluster, with which many people feel a powerful, yet inexplicable connection. Many ancient cultures have legends that their ancestors originated from the Pleiadies, and numerous extraterrestrial encounters today report the Pleiadies to be the space-beings’ place of origin. The first album Music From the Pleiadies continues to be a best-seller, and the mystical and mesmerising music on this album, recorded on an “orchestra” of synthesisers, promises to be no exception. “I have a large picture of the Pleiadies in my recording studio, and sometimes when I look at this picture I am inspired to compose a kind of music which is very different from anything I have ever heard, or composed before. I don’t have any scientific explanation for this, but I do know that I love the Pleiadies and that somehow the special inspiration for these albums comes from them” - Gerald Jay Markoe.

NADA HIMALAYA: Music for Meditation  NADA HIMALAYA: Music for Meditation (Code #NE9706CD)

Deuter

"In 10 years of travelling and living in Asia I have gathered a collection of fine Tibetan bells and bowls. All have been hand-picked and come from different places in Nepal, Tibet, Japan and India. One was from a Tibetan monastery, one was a gift from a Tibetan lama, who touched my heart with his big laugh. One was a present from a spiritual master, Osho, who gave it to me “for healing purposes.” And this is what these sounds are doing, they want to help and heal you from the inside out. All the energies from people of different times who made these bells and all my 25 years experience of making music are in these recordings. These sounds are gentle, almost floating like white clouds in the Himalayas. But they are also powerful in changing the sound environment around you, raising the vibration of your being. They are a great help to become quiet and silent. Not a silence imposed on yourself, but silence that wells up from inside... Use this music as an active meditation, feel how the sounds resonate in your system, humming gently with it. Or use it as a soft background, to relax." - C G Deuter

NAMASTE  NAMASTE (Code #MX101)

Various Artists

"With so much so-called New Age music turning out to be nothing more than heavily hyped, synthesized reformulations of the romantic, syrupy schlock that Middle America tends to gorge itself on, it is a blessing to find the Real Music label founding a new Real Mystic imprint dedicated to music that helps open pathways to higher dimensions. Label President Terence Yallop, who leads a guided meditation on Namasté’s second disc, has done a superb job of assembling pieces that transmit New Age music’s most trancelike and devotional qualities. Two beautiful tracks are from Karunesh’s Zen Breakfast, two from discs by Buedi Siebert. "Prabhupada Padma" from Rasa in Concert features the vocals of Kim Waters. Kim’s voice is so sensual that she could sing a grocery list and have you down on your knees, pledging eternal devotion to Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and hopefully something more organic... Add in Benjamin Iobst’s Singing Bowls of Tibet and other beautiful offerings from Devakant and Gary Malkin, and you’ve got a collection as ideally suited to dinner by candlelight as for contemplation, meditation, and just plain daydreaming." - Spirit of Change.

THE POWER OF THE GONG  THE POWER OF THE GONG (Code #MX088)

Devya

Everyone loves Gong music because it speaks to the body in vibrational language that is both heard and felt. Devya plays the Gong using drum mallets of different sizes to produce engaging tonal melodies and ancient rhythms. The effect is a massage with sound that transports listeners to a deeper level of mind. A level that rejuvenates and heals-physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Gong speaks to the body in a precise, vibrational language that communicates directly what cannot be said with words. It delights the nervous system. Indeed, the sounds become so captivating and complicated that you surrender control of your ego long enough for complete awareness to enter. Awareness that can change your life. Repeated listening produces the best results. Also recommended for inducing sound sleep.

SUN SPIRIT  SUN SPIRIT (Code #BH61CD)

Deuter

"Sun Spirit by Deuter feels like a musical dance. To compare the auditory experience to a visual one, listening to this CD is like walking into a garden with walls of multicolored flowers with the technicolor turned up to 11 on a scale of 1-10. But to do the analogy justice you would have to dance through the garden and feel the energy of the flowers in your whole body. Deuter is touted as a master of New Age/meditation music. He was a pioneer of electronic music and has an impressive discography of 43 releases dating back to 1970. Deuter says, "This music is the celebration of the time when we know we are alive, when we feel and breathe the joy of being." Like many of Deuter's previous recordings, Sun Spirit has a lot of movement - he layers recorders, guitars, synthesizers, piano, violin and tabla (Indian kettle drums) , to name a few. With it's lack of slow, long, drawn-out notes and quiet space typical of this kind of music, I feared that it might not inspire relaxation. But the first client I played it for promptly fell asleep. So much for assumptions!" - Massage Magazine.

Danny Becher

Besides the musical effect of the singing bowls and a China gong, pulsating sounds between the left and right side bowls create a vibrational pattern. This pattern can tune the brainwaves into alpha and theta states. A balancing and harmonising effect between the left and right side of the brain occurs with these three wonderful pieces: "With a Quiet Mind," "Space - Planet-Suite" and "The Pleasure of Being One with the Supreme Soul."
