CD: Yoga Planet
by Gordon Brothers
With
the many meditation and World music albums they’ve
released over the years, David and Steve Gordon have proven
that they know how to craft a graceful album of ambient
and World music. Their work on the various albums on the
Sequoia Groove label ("Buddha-Lounge," "Café
De Luna") has shown that they have a good grasp of
groove as well. Both of those proficiencies are brought
together in a celebration of yoga practice on YOGA PLANET.
The music here was designed by the brothers specifically
to enhance a daily set of asanas, featuring lush, earthy
beats coupled with multi-cultural instrumentation, flute,
piano and lounge-oriented synth atmosphere. It strikes a
perfect balance between being stimulating and calm, providing
a mellow environment within which yoga, bodywork or deep
relaxation can flourish. A portion of the proceeds from
the sale of the album is being donated to the Rainforest
Action Network.

CD:
Zero
by Wendy Rule
Melbourne talent Wendy Rule has been impressing punters with
her music and performance around town for some time. Her debut
is nothing short of brilliant. Rule delivers her strong, often
dream-like vocal with such natural expression and ease, she
makes half the signed acts in this country look like learners.
Zero is an album of lavishly orchestrated, ambient pieces
of crafted music. Her live musicians, cellist Rachel Samuel
and pianist Craig Patterson, are augmented by a dozen or so
others across the various tracks, adding violin, mandolin,
keys, guitar, bass and various samples and treatments as well
as a percussive base to many of the songs. Stylistically Rule
& Co leave no stone unturned, laying their quintessential
melancholoy, often sensual vibe over a diversity of rhythms
from Latin to Celtic-inspired folk. Lyrically, Rule combines
mythological insight and romance to produce literary works
in their own right - vocally she brings to mind elements of
Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux and Enya among others - and there
is a distinct quiver in her vocal style that reminds of Belinda
Carlisle. Great voice, a class local release - well worth
investigating. Track listings: 1. Continental Isolation 8.10
2. Sirens 4.43 3. Chariot 3.39 4. Demigod 3.40 5. Child The
First 3.11 6. Prometheus 6.15 7. Beltane 3.49 8. Odyssey 5.29
9. Seline Of The Infinite Solution 3.14 10. Psyche`s Sisters
6.56 11. Falling Behind Me 2.02 12. Zero 6.00 13. Frost At
Midnight 6.08.
