And Their Refinement of the Decline

CD-Charts > Music > Electro-Acoustic
by: Stars Of The Lid

Release Date April 02, 2007
Ignore mbb's review. This is not New Age music. This is ambient music for the 21st century. Simply one of the greatest ambient works of all time. The Stars of the Lid have trumped themselves once again. An essential album for anyone with a serious interest in ambient music.

Latin Lounge

CD-Charts > Music > Electro-Acoustic
by: Various Artists

Release Date October 10, 2005
Like many Putumayo compilations, the tracks here are a well-chosen collection of top-quality material from local artists. However, with all of Latin America to choose from, the Putumayo people have outdone themselves this time. Every track is a superb piece of atmospheric down-tempo pop with a rich Latin flavour. It's one of the very few albums I can't imagine every getting sick of - perfect as background music and also well worthy of more attentive listening. If you like modern Latin music and only ever buy one Putumayo compilation (and I've bought lots) get this.

The Equatorial Stars

CD-Charts > Music > Electro-Acoustic
by: Fripp & Eno

Release Date March 28, 2005
This, I assume, is a sister album to Eno and Fripp's 'Evening Star',and a continuation of their collaboration begun on 1975's 'No Pussyfooting'.
In my opinion,we have two of music's most gifted and original people here,and an album with the two of them is always going to be interesting.This doesn't disappoint,lovely ambient textures with Fripp's amazing sounding guitar seemingly endlessly sustained over the top,modulating weirdly from time to time,but always hypnotic.
Percussion and rhythm do creep into the music a little later in the album,but generally it is a mellow affair,perfect for chilling out with a loved one or what you will.
If you like either of these guys, or ambient sounds ... Read More:

Music for Accelerated Learning

CD-Charts > Music > Electro-Acoustic
by: Steven Halpern

Release Date
I use this CD with a class of five and six year olds and it immediately relaxes and calms them They often ask for the music to be on as they say they can work better. They talk very quietly with their neigbour or not at all,the children are focussed on the task in hand and written work is completed more efficiently and accurately then without the music. TAs are amazed by the result. I would definately recommend this CD to teachers and parents.

Shamanic Dream Vol.1

CD-Charts > Music > Electro-Acoustic
by: Anugama

Release Date March 17, 2003
Angugama uses the didgeridoo and a drum beat, along with the sounds of nature, and synchronization with certain brain wave patterns, to clear the emotions and help focus the mind and heart on these beautiful sounds. It certainly works for me. The music is peaceful and meditative. It surely heals one from the stresses and tensions of daily life ... they seem to melt away ... or at least are viewed from a different, more clear perspective and feeling when the music is played and for a long time afterwards.

The liner notes provide some fascinating information how the "Spiritual Environments" recordings of which this is one ... create a healing effect with the sounds of nature and sacred mantras. Here is a summary: 1) the binaural beat helps ... Read More:
