CD: Spiritual Journeys of the World Egypt by Andreas
Paradise Music (45) - Leading new age music label
Paradise music is a rapidly expanding "new age" music label founded by one of the leading and best known artists in this field, Llewellyn, and his wife Juliana, who is also a well respected and popular recording artist.

They have brought out CDs by well loved established artists as well as nurturing new talent and their range is growing all the time. They have also instigated new ideas such as the now popular "Workshop" series and also CD greeting cards (ie a greeting card with a CD inside the front cover).




By Vernon Marshall View ProfileThe name of Andreas is a new one to me. I have listened to many CDs of this genre and have enjoyed them all. Could the music of Andreas provide something a bit different? Well, yes, I think there is a distinctly different style here. The riffs and melodies are clearly defined but gentle. There is a sense of structure and development. There is also a feeling of exoticism that connects the listener to the land that has inspired the music - in this case Egypt. I did in my own mind conjure up images of desert scenes and Bedouin camps. Something I did like was the length of each piece. In just under an hour of playing time there are only four different tracks. This enables the listener to get fully into the piece. The flute work is very evocative and the chanting voices bring the atmosphere of North Africa into the home. It does sound genuinely Arabic yet its flow is easy on the ear.
This CD is not exactly a meditation aid as its structure takes you along too clearly. It is certainly a relaxation aid and also simply a lovely piece of evocative music. It is well composed, brilliantly arranged and very well delivered. It will not be gathering dust on my CD rack!
