New Age composer Terry Oldfield presents a collection of instrumental music designed to integrate harmoniously with a standard yoga class. The opener "Earth and Sky" invokes a sense of solemn grace via wooden flutes before giving way to "Aum" with its spine-tingling tamboura drone. The title track opens with a peaceful summons to peaceful meditation from a Tibetan singing bowl before bells and more wooden flutes enter the scene like a break of light through the trees. When the album has progressed to "The Essence" things are so mellow, that the wooden flute is serenading in barely a whisper. With Oldfield's gift for conveying stillness, focus, and serenity, this album creates a benevolent sense of timeless now that makes it the perfect accompaniment for a yoga session, meditation, or any other sort of relaxing or therapeutic activity.
Tracklist
Terry Oldfield
A prolific and self-taught flautist, percussionist, and composer, Terry Oldfield looms as large in the world of New Age music as his younger brother Mike looms in prog-rock. Formerly a sideman for his brother, the elder Oldfield stepped into his own spotlight in 1986 with the release of CASCADE, followed in the same year by the critically acclaimed REVERENCE. The British-born Oldfield went on to release album after album of meditative music, the most popular of which proved to be his musical travelogues, which feature traditional sounds infused with Oldfield's own sense of melodic intrigue. He has also scored films for theatrical release and television and collaborated with his sister, vocalist Sally Oldfield.
