Absolutely Stunning

| I'm neither a musician nor even close to expert in meditation, but I do tend toward being "careful-analytic" in my thought generally, am deeply moved and comforted by both "Western" and "Eastern" music and, while hardly a guru, take meditation seriously. I thought the music of Ambience was stunning for its clarity and its "message," whatever that might be for the listener. It somehow involved more than the auditory senses-most notably also time, feeling, perhaps even space. And hearing one of its pieces for the first time, I thought my father was playing his shaku-hachi (or whatever the simple Japanese bamboo flute is called). I believe that Ambience is not at all in conflict with Christian or other religious beliefs. I see it as a really remarkable collection of music. Quite a gift from RichArt for those of us seeking a time for solitude and reflection. |
Awesome!

This is a very relaxing CD / MP3 and for $5 for almost 3 hours of music it is more than worth the price. I was concerned when I downloaded this that it would be too new agey like some of the other CD's I have, but this one is just pure relaxation. In addition, it clears my mind so that I can work, so therefore, it is a great CD to have playing in the background while working, at the end of a hard day, or just because you want to hear it.
I admit, when I first downloaded it, I never listened to it because at the time I was listening to other music and figured someday I would get to it, and when I finally listened to it, I wondered why I had just let it sit. It's fabulous and has nature sounds, like running water, birds chirping along with all kinds of instruments. There are no vocals, which is exactly what I wanted. I am so happy I purchased this. Give it a try, you will only be out $5 but it will be the best money you ever spent! |
Smooth and Relaxing

| This is a great album for relaxation, meditation or if you just enjoy the sounds of nature and water. Everything is well mixed and every track is very 'smooth'; no awkward or striking sounds to distract you from your relaxation techniques. I think out of all of the tracks and albums I have purchsed from Amazon over the last month, this is by far the best. |
