Music for Meditation - Inner Stillness
David and Steve Gordon
2010

Brothers David and Steve Gordon have proven themselves the benchmark in the world of meditation music, filling the massage and Reiki centers of the world with calming, beatific sounds and healing energy. Their music has the power to brighten days, lessen anxiety, and smooth the ruffled fur of even the angriest and most frustrated souls. Music for Meditation: Inner Stillness is astoundingly effective in that regard. Ambient, still, and without percussion or overt melodics, the album benefits from the brothers' decades of meditation and music composition, making it one of their most meditation-ready and completely soothing albums. Put Music for Meditation on, close your eyes, and let the inner pictures conjured by their hazy, dripping third-eye panoramic drones and tones dissolve your stressed nerves into a calm warm sea.

Opener "Bridge of Breath" moves right into the heart of spiritual stillness with a rich, grounding blend of glacial passing drones that shade and effect each other to create new tones. These rise like three-dimensional mirages, with hazy guitar notes that coast in and out of drizzling chimes. "Entering the Now" continues the pulsing, sonically enriched feeling of perfect union with the larger self. Its flowing guitar accents and healing drones slowly pass across the sky like cottony streaks of stratus clouds.

Dramatic strums of an acoustic guitar commingle over the oceanic hum of Tibetan singing bowls and wordless vocal drones in "The Limitless Way," which winds up this very soothing and relaxing session with a sense of universal compassion and profound mystery. One can walk away from David and Steve Gordon's Music for Meditation without needing to know about the sound-healing tonality craftsmanship and electro-acoustic spiritual foresight behind it all. Instead, just bask in the glow this music brings, the feeling of completion, as if one's soul is a Monet landscape jigsaw puzzle, half-finished since childhood, now suddenly completed. The Gordon's ambient drones welcome you to float down the warm purple brushstrokes of the river Seine.
