Easy Listening

Advantages: Good background listening
Disadvantages: Odd mixture of music on the Uplifting disc

...I do often have Classic FM on the radio at home and recently bought their 2 CD set, Voices 2008. This is a compilation containing a selection of vocal pieces from the worlds of choral music and opera. There are pieces in this collection which you would immediately recognise on hearing them, even if their names are not familiar. In the set is a CD of relaxing pieces and a CD of uplifting pieces, so you have the choice of which best suits your mood. ...
...John Brunning is one of Classic FM's own presenters. He composed this short piece, which is sung on the CD by All Angels. I would describe it as a sweet piece, but it doesn't really stick in my mind after I've heard it. It's pleasant enough to hear in the background though. 4 Canteloube - 'Bailero'. Canteloube took his inspiration from the traditional folk songs of the Auvergne region of France where he was born. He arranged these songs for orchestra ... Read review

Advantages: Funky, Catchy and it is Satch
Disadvantages: Lack of Experimentation

I bought this album from my local store and i have got to say that i wasn't overly impressed by this offering from Joe but the more you listen to it, the more you get a sense of the musical genius of Satch. Overall its a very mysterious album with some funky songs. But it seems like Joe is content with continuing to do what he is good at and not branching out like most other contemporary artist e.g Vai, Johnson and Gilbert which is fine by me but ...
...Good points include catchy tunes like 'I Just Wanna Rock' and 'Diddle-Y-A-Doo-Dat' that make this album exciting whereas ballads such as 'Andulusia' give the album a bit of drama and sadness. Mysterious tunes include 'Musterion' give the album a bit of edge. Bad points include a lack of experimentation and the fact that Joe seems content with this. Never the less this is a good album that Joe Satriani fans like myself will be content with. Overall ... Read review

Advantages: Soft Following Music
Disadvantages: CD could be longer

As with Llewllyn's first Reiki CD I fully enjoy listening to Reiki Gold while giving myself a Reiki treatment, each track is timed to about 5 minutes for each hand position. The music is very soft and free flowing so it just glides right into each track. This CD does not restrict itself to being listened to just for Reiki as I very often listen to it while meditating or continued relaxation after Reiki. The music on this CD is very typical of what ... Read review
