"OM Sanctuary"
Label: Valley of the
Sun (800-421-6603)
Rating:  |
This is the latest release from the Valley
of the Sun label, which
specializes in "New Age" meditation/massage/relaxation
type music. One may wonder what a 60-plus minute CD filled with
the chant of the word "om" is doing in this magazine,
but after hours of listening to everything from heavy metal to
punk rock this is an amazingly relaxing cd. The deep simple chant
of "om," accompanied by background harp and synthesizer,
with simple little variations just washes over you. Need to relax?
Forget your cares? This is just the ticket. Valley also has over
a dozen other titles of a similar nature available which you
can order by calling. |

IF you're a huge "Aerosmith" fan,
and IF you happend to see their live tour last year, you will
love this Live 2-CD set. All the old favorites are gathered in
one place on this album, with a couple new tracks thrown in for
good measure. As a die-hard "Aerosmith" fan, I'm enjoying
the hell out of the album(s), but there isn't anything new here.
For a "live" album it's not too bad, and the energy
displayed by both the crowd and the band is very apparent. Since
I saw the concert, I can appreciate the album more than those
who didn't, and there are only a few songs from the "Nine
Lives" album vs. the show I saw. Other than that, chalk
this up to another "Aerosmith" Greatest Hits album
with a live audience to push it along. At least all the best
songs are on one set of CDs,so you don't have to hunt through
your whole collection to listen to them. |
