Lotus Groove

This review is based on the sample CD that I received that contained three of the songs from this CD. I found the music soothing and relaxing. It reminds me of a far away land and a far away time where women performed the gentle dances either as a story of love or just for entertainment and fun. The music has a native sound and some with a gypsy tone.

The music is very soothing like a gentle breeze at the end of the day or a gentle rain. The music is stated to be for meditation, yoga & relaxation. It is the most soothing CD of the Music Mosaic CD’s. There is the Shakuhachi, classic guitar, grand piano, flutes and tanpura used in some of the songs. If you want the ultimate in relaxation music, this CD is for you.

Trance Dance –Didgeridoo

The CD is compiled from various artists. Some of the songs have vocals and some do not. All the songs are full of wonderful beats and sounds. They are all very danceable and almost intrancing. It is a very good CD and a very interesting CD. If you like dance music, if you like native music, if you like head banging music, and if you like alternative rock you probably will enjoy this CD. I can very easily see this CD being played in cult music type places even though it is not cult orientated. It just that the native tribal type envisions the tribal dancing around the fire. Its not a soft sweet sounds you might envision but the drums and beat of dancing.

It’s a CD denifently worth checking out.
