Music reviews of Sadhana
Music Review: Suzie Housley, MyShelf.com Book Reviewer
Rating: 5 Stars
"The pleasure we feel in music springs from the obedience which is in it "
-Henry David Thoreau
The exotic tunes of India, Tibet, Yoruba, Native American and Sufi worlds are all brought to you in this one amazing CD. Each sound penetrates your ears and subconscious and tells its own unique story. From the beginning, you are projected to a far-off land; it is as though you are encountering a spiritual oasis. With each rich descriptive sound you are able to hear and feel all that is occurring. Throughout each tune, you feel as though your body is floating aimlessly, as if an out-of-body encounter is taking place as all your problems are suddenly lifted from your shoulders. It is as though you are transported to a world where music is your constant companion.
"The earth has music for those who listen."
- William Shakespeare
Sadhana has quickly become one of my most cherished CDs. Each time I listen to it I find I am rewarded with my sense of inner peace. The creation of this CD is a true work of art and unlimited talent. Each song provides a vast array of musical sounds that consist of the true essence of nature, the rich, flowing sound of water, and crickets far off in the nightlife. This is just a sample of what you will find when you first press the play button.
"In music the passions enjoy themselves."
- Friedrich Nietzsche
Sadhana is a reflection of greatness; it provides an endless amount of mesmerizing music. I find that I play it each day as I do my daily yoga routine. I feel the sultry sounds greatly enhance my workout by allowing me to get in tune with each of the many moves. The tempo this CD generates compliments this activity the best of any that I have experienced. Sadhana is known as an aphrodisiac for the soul. It lives up to this endorsement to the fullest capacity. Highest recommendation goes out to this exceptional CD.
Description of Sadhana
Stunning in its sensuality and lush with ethereal and earthy rhythms, Sadhana beckons listeners to hear their walls dissolve into an ecstatic awareness of the largeness of life. Here, Dutch keyboardist and composer Maneesh de Moor gathers a circle of musicians from around the globe for ten tracks of ethno-ambient chill/world, meant to serve as "an aphrodisiac to the soul." Trained as a classical pianist, Maneesh has taken his mastery of sound-synthesis and infused it with the sounds of nature?birdsong, flowing water, crickets in a nighttime soundscape?and the human voice to evoke Sadhana: a contemporary tribute to the spiritual life of devotion and meditation. A former collaborator with Deva Premal, Miten, Sudha, and Prem Joshua, Maneesh de Moor now ventures off to create a sublime and devotional sound all his own. "The music on this CD came through from the Beyond, guided by Spirit. All I had to do was be open and perceptive to it and, of course, record that space, that energy," says de Moor. The result is Sadhana, a journey into India, Tibet, Yoruba, and Native American and Sufi worlds, to create a space for visions and Oneness.Maneesh de Moor is another of those music mystics who tarts up his work with Eastern imagery and metaphysical debris, right down to the hybrid Dutch-Indian name. But when you brush away the verbiage, you're left with an ambient album that is far more sophisticated than the cosmic clutter would lead you to believe. Eastern sounds abound on Sadhana, although not in the obvious ways you might expect from the Sanskrit title, which means "moving toward enlightenment." De Moor mixes live performances, studio electronics, and ambient sounds in subtle ways. Recordings of Australian frogs create his rhythms on "Raindance," where bird sounds are used to build tension more than ambience. On "Silent Ganges," chants and mantras are electronically filtered and arranged in choruses, resulting in a languid trance-pop piece. There's nothing here that hasn't been rendered on the Buddha Bar collections, but De Moor avoids the electro-loop grooves and goes a bit deeper with tracks like "Jewel in the Lotus," on which he creates a 10-minute swirl of guttural Tibetan chants, didgeridoo, surging synth patterns, and ominous frame drums for a drone symphony. Maneesh de Moor's roots aren't in the world of chill, but rather early ambient. That's evident throughout the disc, but especially on the final track, a Harold Budd-like ambient piano meditation that drifts dreamily off the edge. --John Diliberto
