Free Music Review: Peaceful and perfect!
Hit: 5 Stars
This luscious, primal, Asian-inspired flute music is perfect for massage or active meditation (Taiji, Qigong, Yoga, etc.). Unlike some New Age recordings that vascillate between western and eastern, combining the extremes oddly without capturing the best qualities of either, Gary Stroutsos has found a perfect blend. While tempered and deepened by the ambience of electronic drones, Stroutsos' gentle flute melodies and Elizabeth Falconer's koto accompaniments are pure east--pentatonic, mysterious and captivatingly beautiful. Using four flutes--including a breathy bamboo and a deep, throaty ratan bass--Stroutsos leads the listener on a relaxing, intriguing journey, enhanced not only by the plucks and glissandos of the koto but by recorded ocean sounds, chimes, bells and soothing, trance-like hand drums. Eight musicians are listed, including adaptable and ubiquitous percussionist Glen Velez, but the sound of the recording remains spare and pristine, not overloaded with sound. The recorded surf ties many of the selections together so there are no stark breaks in between. In fact, the first eight tracks are all-of-a-piece, a suite following the moods of the sea through the day from morning till night. More interesting and animated than most meditation music, but gentler than many world music forays, "Pacific Moon" is one of those engaging recordings that, to me, is in a class by itself. For other flute albums blending elements of east and west, try the sparer "Quiet Heart / Spirit Wind" by Richard Warner and the more orchestrated "Mystic Journey" by Suzanne Teng. Another intriguing CD that journeys through maritime moods accompanied by recorded wave sounds is "Oceans" by keyboardist Ed Van Fleet.
