Unwind

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This fine follow-up to Oleander's gold-selling 1999 effort, February Son, finds the quartet coming into their own, forging an identity in an often-faceless pop-rock field populated by the likes of Collective Soul and Candlebox. Fronted by the dynamic Thomas Flowers, the group has blossomed from their Nirvana-lite roots into something more original and expansive. Witness the darkly evocative "Are You There?" which moves easily into "Halo," a lilting ballad rife with strings. From the funky and spare "Benign" to the rah-rah rave-up "Jimmy Shaker Day" to the soaring and soulful, Lenny Kravtiz-like "Tightrope," there's nary a loser to be found. Unwind is most interesting on the harder-edged songs such as the raucous but taut "She's Up, She's Down." With stellar production, thoughtful arrangements, and well-crafted songs, Unwind is the kind of album that fans and radio programmers alike can embrace. The Sacramento-bred band may be named after a poisonous flower, but this burgeoning bunch is anything but toxic. --Katherine Turman --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Lovely mix of world beat and electronica.......2005-10-16

This album is a mixture of world beat including asian, indian and middle eastern rhythms and melodies, with an electronica feel. It is in the same vein, but softer than Dum Dum Project's mix of indian chants. I highly recommend it for meditation or yoga, but also just to relax while studying for a test or having to deal with any stressor. It is not sticky sweet, or cloyingly annoy as something like Enya (not all songs, but some) can be...You won't go use this for aerobics or running, so if you are looking for more up beat electronica with world sounds you should try the new Reboot- Music for the next generation from Om Records. Benefits from both CDs also go to charity, so that's bonus. For what this music is intended, i.e. lounge type chill with a world beat influence, it does an excellent job, and I highly recommend it.

This album is horrid, not genuine and drones on and on. Sorry I bought it. Prozac on a CD. A new drink coaster.

News for Yoga Fit instructors.......2004-07-02

I used this CD for my Yoga class last week and loved it. I want to let you know that this is the same CD that Yoga Fit sells as Zen Cafe - Dessert. At least this way you can listen to a sample before buying. It flows wonderfully and is a joy to listen to. I highly recommened it for anyone wanting to chill or use it for teaching yoga classes.

Step Into The Lounge.......2004-06-19

Ancient wisdom, calmness, gentleness, dignity, but also exotic and mysterious magic, strange beauty - these are the notions which the Buddhist culture evokes in our minds - no matter what culture or religion we stem from ourselves.
All these qualities are dealt with in the 14 tracks from ambient artists from Europe and the US assembled on this compilation. The DJ has selected them with knowing care and exquisite taste. Here modern western sounds meet with themes and topics from ancient oriental and occidental cultures.

Gentle but subtly effective trance grooves, moody haunting melodies, and soothing harmonies relax the listener and nurture his mind,soul and body in a easy and entertaining way.
