Music reviews of Zen Breakfast
Music Review: from Solo Piano Publications
Rating: 5 Stars
"Zen Breakfast" is truly classic "New Age" music, with floating melodies, shimmering flutes, clear bells, gentle guitar and piano. Many of the tracks remind me a bit of early Kitaro, but this is definitely not an imitation of that artist or any other. While there are many Eastern influences, there are also many from the West, joining to make a soothing, mystical blend. The music is quiet and consistent enough in mood and tempo to make a very pleasant backdrop for other activities. It will also hold up well for meditation or meditative listening. Just don't try to wake up to it - I can tell you from personal experience that this will put you right back into dreamland! The album is extremely well done and is beautiful to listen to. I have seen comparisons to Ray Lynch's groundbreaking "Deep Breakfast", but even though Lynch incorporates Eastern touches into his music, the only thing I find that the two albums have in common is a word in the title. "Zen Breakfast" doesn't have anything as catchy as "Celestial Soda Pop" or "Rhythm in the Pews", and while it is an excellent album, Lynch brought us something brand new with his recording, and this CD continues the tradition without breaking any new ground - something I doubt Karunesh was intending to do anyway. This CD was apparently conceived over a breakfast meeting with Karunesh and Real Music President Terence Yallop, hence the title. The cover art is especially nice on this CD.
Description of Zen Breakfast
Weaving exotic voices and cross-cultural elements through his sparkling tapestry, Karunesh finds that perfect balance point where classical, world and healing music join, carefully coaxing love's caress from every note.Though the disc's name suggests oriental roots, the music created by this German-born keyboardist (his adopted name is Sanskrit for "compassion") is primarily occidental in character. Built around simple piano melodies augmented by spacious synthesizer backdrops, flute, delicate guitar, higher-pitched Kitaro-like keyboard lines, zither, chimes, bells, and Eastern vocals, Zen Breakfast tilts heavily toward the yoga/meditation end of the New Age continuum with its assortment of slowly evolving soundscapes. Comparisons to Steve Halpern are inevitable. This is a modest production that visits well-traveled sonic territory without adding fresh ideas. Intended to be slow and restive, Karunesh's compositions sometimes acquire the tone of a lament, giving the disc an atmosphere that mixes clouds and light. Zen Breakfast is suitable for massage, but for best results shuffle-play it with other discs. --Terry Wood
