Stunning, colorful, energetic and yet relaxing visualizations
author: Melusine62If you are looking for evocative, vivid, fresh visualizations and like journeying to beautiful exotic places, this CD is for you. I've only listened a few times so far and am still stunned at how much better (better written, more fully imagined, beautifully executed) this is than most such CDs I've tried. Many are either skimpy and uninvolving, or detailed in a didactic way that makes you all too aware of the author/narrator rather than putting you inside the visualization. By contrast, these visualizations are imaginative and abundant, with sights, sounds, touch, even smells vividly evoked, transitions gracefully made, and the words perfectly counterpointed by the music to give a sensation of flowing or rushing or floating through these fantastic journeys. (I normally dislike electronic music, but this music is well-done and really carries the imagery along; also, it is interesting to have the music in the foreground and the interspersed natural sounds in the background, almost subliminal.) The visualizations have relaxation and affirmation components, but these are so well integrated with the journeys that they aren't obtrusive (nor are the occasional gentle and hopeful environmental messages). My two favorite visualizations are Rainforest, with Diana Krall, and Solar System, with F. Murray Abraham. I particularly enjoyed the enthusiasm of Krall's and Murray's deliveries of these especially captivating journeys, although all the narrations are well written and well executed. In Rainforest, we travel to the vibrant, fragrant and well-oxgenated rainforest. The fertile cascade of imagery, the bright music, and Diana Krall's dynamic reading are invigorating and calming, and I actually see brilliant colors whenever I listen to this one. It's like being inside a Rousseau painting! In Solar Systems, Abraham's voice sounds just like the mysterious, somewhat dramatic narrations I remember as a child from planeterium shows--and with that same magical feeling, we move from a gentle, glowing sunset up into the night sky, and are launched into a voyage in space, traveling as a comet to the outer reaches of the solar system, before returning to earth. Let's have another CD like this, please!
