專輯介紹
隨著時間的推移，當Narada and Windham Hill還在努力耕耘和鞏固他們的New Age音樂的根基和環境的時候，REAL MUSIC公司已經在這種成熟的音樂領域裡浸潤和發展了多年。他們在創造了經典而被其他公司及藝術家引為模式的NEW AGE音樂基礎上，不斷發掘和製作出最好的音樂，並且發展了其中重要的一枝：冥想類音樂，而這種音樂在REAL MUSIC的現行音樂定義中占據極其重要的主導思想和主要音樂創作類型，而其中的代表人物為KARUNESH。
在這張作品中，KARUNESH選用了印度的音樂風格和樂器，錫塔爾琴(印度的一種大弦彈撥樂器)和七弦琴作為主要樂器，而那明顯帶有印度曲風的演繹在背景緩慢而輕柔的敲擊樂器中的鋪張和烘托下，顯現其優美而動人的感覺，一種全新的滋味在音樂聲中油然而生。全碟音樂非常耐聽，始終節奏緩慢，卻沒有拖沓，印度音樂傳統的旋轉扭捏的風格被敲擊聲脆脆的截斷，形成一浪浪的音樂波瀾。而更讓我們驚喜的是，發現了作品中加入了現代的鋼琴和小提琴，排蕭（傳統但非印度樂器），KARUNESH的深厚音樂功力，讓矛盾而不兼容的二派樂器完美的融合起來，除非仔細的聆聽，才可以發現，否則，或者說更不願意去強調和硬性區分器樂的存在。
隨著音樂的深入，看KARUNESH還是喜歡中國的民樂，最後出人意料的，完全無法聯繫的，竟然在全碟印度風格中，出現一首絕對ARUNESH民族音樂，百思不得其解，真得可以算一個謎吧！不知道KARUNESH是如何考慮的，或許只能用感覺和情緒來解釋吧。
這張KARUNESH的最新作品完全可以超過《超然咖啡屋》，和《道禪》分量相同，可以相提並論。
The extremely beautiful and creative music on this CD easily makes it my favorite CD discovery of 2004. Govi is the guest musician who plays the sitar and guitar, while Bikram plays the bansuri (Indian flute), Avinash plays the Indian violin (perhaps like the Persian kamenche, an upright violin, similar to Greek lyra) and Karunesh plays the piano on some tracks. Additonal tones and unexpected musical accompaniment are: Tibetan bowls, chimes, and the sarod.
The music is magical, primarily sounds of India, beautiful notes on the sitar open track #1 "The Joy of It All" which help the listener focus on the sounds ... eventually other thoughts dissolve ... the listener identifies with the music only. The timber of the bansuri is so appealing, the sound is nostalgic and introspective. The music is spiritual and ecstatic, wondrous sounds of natural calm and peace. "Sunrise on the Ganges" is very cheerful with the sitar, guitar, and bansuri being the lead instruments. It ends with chimes and Tibetan bells ... a highly mystical experience. "The Grass Grows by Itself" sounds of ancient Asian origin, original Chinese melodies, the instrument is similar to the pipa, plucked notes with a mysterious melody, later enhanced on the piano. Certain musical phrases repeat themselves throughout the day after I listen to this CD ... giving me the peace and serenity I often need during busy times.
This CD is amazing. I received it a week ago and I can't bear to take it out of the CD player -- it's that good. It combines rich undertones with flutes, deep cellos, and an unintrusive beat that just makes you want to close your eyes and breathe the music. It's just amazing. I can meditate to it, study to it, and sleep to it. You won't regret buying this one. Absolutely amazing!!!
Album Description
While other genre labels like Narada and Windham Hill diversified from their new age roots, Real Music has been consistent over the years in providing nothing but the best music for relaxation, meditation and spiritual enhancement.
Their most notable recordings come from an Eastern Buddhist mindset, with multi-instrumentalist Karunesh leading the pack on the strength of previous discs Zen Breakfast and Nirvana Café. His basic approach to contemplative music involves a blend of exotic textures (bells, chimes, Tibetan bowls, sitar and Chinese instruments) with easy grooves and rich walls of ambience. The new collection's trance inducing instrumentation and sensuous rhythms begins with a few minutes of pure ambience and sitar, before slowly introducing a gentle percussive line ("For the Joy of It All");
Avinash's graceful Indian violin carries a mournful beauty that is also part of the similarly hypnotic, easy grooving "Monsoon's Dance." Bikram's Bansuri flute floats through beautifully in key locations, such as the introduction of "Mount Kailash." While the uninitiated might feel that there's a certain repetitive nature to the tracks (which usually begin with sparse instrumentation before the electricity is turned on), the intention is more to invoke a sense of inner peace than to be truly innovative. The title of the richly textured "Zensual" sums up the mystical intent of the thought provoking exercise.
