Languid meditative excursions.......2007-05-11

With over 60 albums in a nearly 40-year career, you might be forgiven for thinking the artist's best work has already been written and recorded. And in many cases you'd be right. But not so with Deuter. At least not so with this new release, Koyasan.

The German multi-instrumentalist was born on the cusp of a new world, in a small German town in 1945. As a young man, Georg Deuter worked for a brief time as a journalist before a near-fatal car accident lead him on a quest of the spirit and a life devoted to music, a quest that took him to study for many years in India before setting up home and a recording studio in the US southwest.

Deuter is entirely self-taught, an admirable accomplishment when you consider the range of instruments he has mastered. He's most closely identified with the flute, but also plays keyboards, the tamboura (an Indian stringed instrument), cello, koto, and several others. Many of these are used to great effect on Koyasan, named after a sacred Buddhist mountain in central Japan, home to the Shingon sect of esoteric Buddhism and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Except for the title and the presence of instruments associated with Japan, such as the shakuhachi (a bamboo flute) and the koto (a stringed instrument), and more widely with Asia (in this case, the 2-stringed Chinese violin, the erhu), the music on this album is not terribly suggestive of Koyasan. The song titles are generic enough to fit nearly any new age theme you'd care to choose.

But the music . . . the music is sublime. The album features eight tracks, all but two 8 to 9 minute meditative excursions. There is no percussion, nor any noticeable rhythm, just languid journeys built on light and airy ambient washes, puffs of aural clouds through and around which circle the voices of the acoustic instruments. Unlike so many new age productions which work well in the background but can't withstand concentrated listening, Deuter's work, especially on this recording, will reward those who sit and listen attentively.

Lovely healing music..........2007-04-14

From the first time I listened to Koyasan: Reiki Sound Healing it resonated in me. You can't help but close your eyes and breathe deeply. Indeed, this music is so lovely and healing, it feels as if you can breathe it in like a balm for your soul.

painting a soundscape.......2007-03-31

Deuter does it again with his latest release. Koyasan: Reiki Sound Healing is an amazing album, dusted with just the right balance of space, stillness and instrumentation. Deuter paints a vivid scene in the listeners mind. Several clients have shared the images with me and commented on the cd. His orchestration is so well thought out and balanced. The rate, choice of instruments, composition all subtley relax and soothe the client (and practitioner) into a state of meditation. I highly recommend this cd for healing work and meditation.

LIGHT MUSIC FOR US.......2007-06-27

I enjoyed all the CD's I've received so far. I used this one a couple times giving Reiki to someone and it is very appropriate and the timing is almost exact, from the time a treatment starts to the finish. Only one person mentioned that the stops between tracks were a little long. She wanted continuous sound, but thought it fit in with her treatment.

Album Description

East of the Full Moon is a musical meditation on the theme of night, crafted by renowned New Age musician/composer, Deuter. Composed to express the moods of the night, its silence, its soft songs, when the human mind has gone to sleep to dream different dreams, Deuter's graceful music evokes images of the night sky, the moon appearing behind clouds, the world losing its stark colors, and trees becoming just shadows against the moon.

Reviews:
"There's no denying that Deuter has talent. With over a dozen releases to his name and a penchant for some of the most haunting reveries in the genre, the artist is a master of music for relaxation and healing. EAST OF THE FULL MOON, themed after the stillness of the nocturnal hours, features Deuter in top form, with a series of velvety melodies that call to mind a gorgeous night sky. Piano, flute, harp, and keyboards are the main instruments on the album, which are interwoven into a tapestry of dreamy music. The cuts are each slow-paced and reflective, ideal for providing a soothing backdrop for relaxation or meditation."
--Music Design, In Review

"... East of the Full Moon once again clearly illustrates why Deuter has few, if any, peers when it comes to crafting elegant, beautiful music which speaks to the human soul with simplicity, charm, and grace."
--Bill Binkelman, Wind and Wire

"…Deuter's exquisite sense of taste and confidence in the other-dimensional nature of his creations produces music that soothes the spirit, freeing the mind to journey to a place of peace. A few selections include mild percussive beat; the rest flow in an unbroken stream of heart-touching reverie."
--Jason Victor Serinus, Music Critic

"In these busy times there is one musical artist that continues to define quiet joy, warmth, and a musical heart-felt celebration of life. That artist is Deuter. East of the Full Moon should appeal to anyone who is interested in genuine music for meditation, yoga, quiet times, and who may use the music in home, school or office settings to enhance the environment. Recommended!"
--Scott H. Colborn, The Way Home Store

Very good new age - low key, well engineered........2007-07-04

Deuter has turned out tasteful albums and this is one of his best. New Age music should be unobtrusive and this is. It should stand up to repeated listening and this does. It should be relaxing without being monotonous and this is. Enjoyable. And it passed my sleep test - it put me to sleep last night so that I never heard the end of the album.

Deuter is always good..........2007-06-08

I want to own all of his music, not just because I'm a massage therapist. It also helps me to relax and move to a more centered space within. But his Koyasan - Reiki Sound Healing is the absolute best he's ever produced in my opinion.

Especially nice for contemplation.......2007-05-07

Gentle piano exploration against a mystical background. Nothing gooey, just lots of beauty. Invites peaceful reflection. Not a false note.

Magnificant.......2007-01-17

I get in home massages, and I asked for this CD for Christmas gift because I heard the first track on an internet radio station and thought it would suit me. I hightly underestimated the power, beauty and magic of this CD. Buy it for a friend or loved one. Buy it for yourself.

Wonderful spa CD.......2007-01-16

My sister asked for a spa-type CD for Christmas, so I went searching for the perfect one for her. I found it with this one. If you've ever been to a spa, had a massage, enjoyed that aromatherapy, had a cup of hot herbal tea...you know that euphoric feeling that comes over you. This is a great way to re-create that at home (or in the car). I don't know how to explain how relaxing this music is, but trust me, you won't be disappointed with this choice.

Amazon.com essential recording

This collection of solo flute pieces from Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai is an evocative delight. The album consists of mostly original material, from the composition "Canyon Reverie," to the improvisational "In Media Res," to "Athabascan Song," an arrangement of a traditional song. The latter in particular stands out, with a faster rhythm and more lilting melody than most of the other pieces. There's also "Ancient Dreams," performed on a bone whistle; the instrument almost exceeds the upper range of human hearing, and Nakai occasionally sounds like he's imitating birdcalls. A classically trained musician, Nakai blends musical traditions to create a whole that reminds one, on occasion, of Japanese shakuhachi music. --Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:

TRADITIONAL .......2007-07-20

THIS OF ALL OF MY COLLECTION OF CARLOS NAKAI, IS MY VERY FAVORITE AND LISTEN TO IT EVERYDAY. WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT IT WAS IN CASSETTE. I WORE IT OUT. WHEN CD CAME ALONG I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE IT AGAIN. IF YOU LONG FOR THE DAYS GONE BY IN NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORIC MUSIC RELM, THIS IS FOR YOU.

Makes a strong connection between earth and spirit. It doesn't get any better than this.

Flute-tastic........2005-11-09

This is an album I got once after a trip to New Mexico, and obviously every time I hear it I'm transported right back to Santa Fe, on a cool night with the smell of mesquite in the air. I'm no expert, but his native american flute is so wonderful and peaceful, and sounds just as I'd expect and want it to. The music is quite relaxing and great to daydream to, and I'll assume "Earth Spirit" is in many a massage parlor. Highly recommended.

Deuter Tibetan Singing Bowls.......2007-01-03

I enjoyed this album as a great followup to Deuter's earlier singing Tibetan bowls work. I always enjoy his music and have most of his albums over the past 20+ years. This album continues the high quality of spiritually uplifting music that has come to define Deuter.

Good Vibrations.......2006-07-11

I have a stack of book reviews to write, but I just had to sneak in this little blurb before getting to the ceiling-high pile of books squatting accusingly on my desk: Deuter's "Tibet Nada Himalaya 2" CD on the New Earth label is pure pleasure on the ear drums. The rich thrum of the Tibetan bells and crystal bowls in each of the compositions fills the solar plexus with waves of relaxation, and triggers the production of endorphins. Highly recommended. (Jung's "Man and His Symbols" covers a section on the correlation between the sounds of bells, gongs, bowls, etc., and the resultant formation of mandala-like patterns of energy.)

If you live in a noisy place, or get knotted up with tension because of the insanity of this world, try listening to this CD.

My Favorite Meditation CD.......2006-01-13

I have dozens of yoga and meditation CDs and this has quickly risen to the top as my favorite. It calms and focuses the mind effortlessly and also creates a harmonious environment even when you're not meditating. All the sounds come from natural sources, mostly Tibetan bells and crystal singing bowls, not a one-dimensional droning synthesizer found on many meditation CDs. Now I understand why the Tibetans have been using these sounds for hundreds of years in their practices. Highly recommended!

Ocean Waves-Sounds Of The Earth

Customer Reviews:

Almost Perfect ! .......2007-05-05

This is a recording made without birds or other distracting sounds. Just the ocean, wave after wave. If you are a serious audiophile then turn the volume way up and hear all of the hissing and sloshing of each wave as it spends itself on the beach ! But if you intend to listen for relaxation, or want a soothing background noise for sleeping, then my advice is to put the speakers further away from you and to turn the volume down. The microphone seems to have been placed very low on the beach, so that the water-effects closer to the mike have a greater sound level than if you were actually listening in real life, on a real beach. The perspective is a bit off, in that it is less an oveall ambient sound.
The microphone would be placed higher and further back from the ocean to produce a sound that was not filled with so many specific details (for my optimum ocean recording) but at least there are no birds or foghorns or passing ships or airplanes (OR MUSIC!) so this recording is pretty gosh-darned good, but not perfect!

good CD.......2007-04-10

Good track of sounds of rolling ocean waves. No sounds of "creatures" - - only sounds of the ocean, which is an asset when falling asleep to the sound of these ocean waves. Highly recommend!

Sounds of th4 Earth: Ocean Waves.......2007-01-27

Great stress reducer! I use it whenever I need a break from life in general!

Very Good.......2007-01-17

If you are looking for a cd of soothing relaxing sounds of waves breaking on the rocks then look no further. This on has got it. There are no seagulls crying in the background, no seals grunting. Just waves breaking on the rocks. Great for going to sleep with.

Very nice recording of the ocean.......2005-06-02

Despite a couple of minor shortcomings this is a very good Ocean sounds CD. Definitely one of the better if your purpose is finding sleep. This cd has continual sounds instead of the start and stop motion that Solitudes Ocean Surf has. However, that was not my purpose as I listen during the day at work as it is calming without interrupting my train of thought. There were minor shortcomings for my purposes in that the recording sounds the same no matter where you are in the CD. It would benefit from added variation. Also, occasionally the tone loses the outdoors feel and almost sounds like it was recorded in an enclosed recording studio. But these are very minor and I am pleased with the cd. My favorite though is still Echoes of Nature: Ocean Waves

Just the basic sound of water, no music or other sounds added. It's very realistic-sounding, relaxing and makes for great white noise.

Just the Real Thing.......2004-05-22

Waterfalls are some of the most primitive things in nature. With this cd, you can't help but think you're right there next to the waterfall. Close your eyes or lie down, and let the natural sounds permeate your mind.

Very soothing!.......2001-05-09

This CD has the wonderful sound of a waterfall. There are no other background noises or music, just pure, rushing water. This waterfall is very powerful as well. It's great to listen to at night before bed. I find that it helps me get to sleep faster, and it's great for helping to relieve a headache. In my opinion, Sounds of the Earth puts out the best CD's of this kind, because they are pure nature sounds with no other noise. I also highly recommend their "Rain In The Country" CD, as well as their "Ocean Waves" and "Woodfire" CD's. They are all very relaxing to listen to.

Donna de Lory has several solo albums out, but she's still best known as a back-up singer for Madonna, fleshing out choruses since the mid 1980s. There's more than a little bit of Madonna in De Lory's voice, at once fragile and vulnerable, yet still powerful, with a gospel-like yearning. On her own, De Lory has crafted artful pop on albums like Bliss and In the Glow, but she also tends toward the mystical and began incorporating Sanskrit mantras or Kirtans into her songs, a tact culminated on The Lover & the Beloved, a full-fledged Mantra journey. De Lory draws from the golden oldies of mantras, including "Hare Krishna," but revs them up with electronica beats, verse-chorus arrangements, multi-tracked vocals, and electronic textures sprinkled in with the sitars and tablas. Cameron Stone weaves his processed cello through De Lory's melodies and harmonium in serpentine rivulets, tying together the tablas of Girish Gambhira and the answering chants of Kirtan singer, Dave Stringer. Endowed with the materiel girl's sense of pop form and irresistible hooks, De Lory posits a confluence between pop and spiritual music, in which a repeated chorus has the same mantric effect as a chant. Her chants could be hymns to Krishna or a plea to a lover, but they are equally ecstatic and powerful. --John Diliberto

Album Description

These Sanskrit mantras bubble with a groove and atmosphere that takes tradition to heaven and back. Donna's voice resonates with ether and earth, beauty that asks you to join in, become one with the sound of deep celebration.

This is a wonderful CD of chants that are both up to date and ancient at the same time. It is calming to the soul to listen to, and later in the day you will find youself chanting the words.....

Soothing. Peaceful. .......2006-09-12

I love all these songs! Soothing and tranquil.

They last a long time which is perfect for use as background music while working or while chatting with friends.

It makes it easier to relax to the melody,let your cares float away as the music wraps around you.
It's one of my favorites, I'm so glad I took a chance and got this one:)

Amazing Soulful Yoga Music.......2006-03-18

Donna De Lory has a beautiful, soulful voice and her music is perfect to practice yoga to or to unwind and get into that zenlike spirit. I ordered the rest of her CDS.

brilliant masterpiece.......2005-09-12

This album is a brilliant masterpiece. Extremely uncommon music, farly outrunning the present. A listener is experiencing a deep feeling of being, also as each piece here, so long, is being changed several times in movement and style. At this web page the short mp3 shows are only presented in one such a style and movement, more torrential but less oriental. The most varied piece is the last seventh: Govinda Jaya Jaya (Mac Quayle Mix). And what's more, the box for the CD is not the traditional plastic, but it is made quite else and I do not mean to disclose, how. For me it was an eye-opener and I wish you the same excitment. It is no lesser masterpiece than the music itself. So I recommend this album to everybody and thank the authors very much for this great experience. You're real masters.

Just love it!.......2005-04-11

A lovely album. Donna brings a sense of creativity, melody and bkathi (devotion) to each of the songs. It starts with a catchy Ganapathi OM, continuing with the same catchiness with Om Namah Shivaya. He Ma Durga brings out the delicacy of her voice. I loved Govinda Jaya Jaya, which is ideal for a group chant that brings a lot of energy into the singing.

I found all the songs to be melodious. The lyrics are simple for anyone to remember easily. The tune is catchy and lingers on after listening. There is a nice blend of western and Indian instruments providing soothing background music. As in many Indian songs/chants, you will find repetition within each song, which is a nice thing. You probably will not notice it as it encourages you to remember the tune/song much easily.

I use this album in my Yoga classes regularly and come away humming for a long time. Just love it!

The 1970s were fruitful times for single-name instrumental artists. Expressing a Magellan-like inquisitiveness in their mostly electronic works, composers such as Vangelis, Kitaro, and Eloy attracted followings by leading torch-lit expeditions into fresh-sounding audio terrain while searching for more sublime emotional experiences. Deuter emerged during that period, though his subsequent involvement with Eastern philosophies reshaped his approach, leading him to construct works on a more internal, less cinematic scale. That style remains in place here in Deuter's first recording for the new millennium, and the result is a gentle charmer that may not dazzle you at first but will over time reveal simple pleasures and subtle satisfactions that make it worthwhile listening. Flutes and piano, plus occasional synths, strings and harp, are the dominant sounds at work here, and Deuter combines them in ways that capture a world as peaceful and sun-warmed as the golden detail from Van Gogh's Olive Trees used as the cover image for Sun Spirit. Overall, the music is probably too dainty for some tastes, but minor gems such as the softly pulsing "Sunlight Dancing" and the delightful title track (which recalls the David Lanz/Paul Speer hit "Behind the Waterfall") should appeal to anyone. Uplifting, yet not excessively cheerful. --Terry Wood

JOY Overdose.......2003-07-05

I bought this CD on a whim after hearing it mentioned in a magazine article - forgot which - as a good CD for a pleasant ambience.
'Pleasant?' Talk about understatement.
You will want to tell others about it as soon as you hear the first four or five tracks. But then when you get to track 8, there will be a door opening inside you that is marked "To Heaven". Track 9, the last track, is the best on the CD, in my opinion, and the one that removes the usefulness of the English vocabulary to try to describe it. It's the most intoxicatingly ecstasy-promoting music I've heard.
There is an NLP (neurolinguistic progrmaming) technique that involves you thinking and feeling about a highly positive emotionally charged past event, and then you create a physical anchor such as applying pressure to a finger while thinking about it. (It's good for job interviews or other anxiety producing times.) Track nine is my background music when I go through the process of creating an anchor, and it works so well!

Pure Joy!!.......2001-09-04

I have been inspired by Deuter's music ever since I heard his album Ecstacy in the early 80's. All of his music puts me in touch with my spirit. And this one is no exception. Once again Deuter enfolds with his enchanting embrace. All nine selections are infused with the feeling tones of joy and upliftment. If this music was a wine I would have to say it is champagne -- pure sparkling golden effervescent bubbly.

Each of the nine vignettes makes me feel as if my spirit has taken a holiday to a lush and idyllic tropical island where the sun shines all day long while little billowing white clouds float along in the sky. Then at night I sense the full moon casting is silvery rays off of the calm ocean waves, shimmering and iridescent.

Apres La Pluie, track 4, is one of my favorites. Opening with the beat of tabla drums, as if waves are rhythmically lapping the shore, it sets the stage for the entrance of Deuter's recorder flutes. At first, one magical songbird starts singing while the sun's rays poke over the horizon at dawn. In a little while more birds join in with their songs. Then, as if a warm gentle breeze is rising up off of the ocean, the synthesized strings add their lush texture.

Whether you want to relax or daydream or take an inner journey, I can only give this work my highest recommendation. You won't regret it.
