Recommended Meditation Classic: "Atlantis Angelis"

ATLANTIS ANGELIS BY PATRICK BERNHARDT

The panacean qualities of ATLANTIS ANGELIS, from Patrick Bernard, are powerful enough to make one consider this album "prozac" for the soul.

From keyboard-produced panflute gymnastics to folk-edged acoustic guitar melodies to the smooth, relaxed chant-style vocals of Bernard, this spectacle of Sanskrit mantras and ethereal instrumentation evokes much appeal.

The sweetly melodic five-part suite, "Song of the Universal Light" is a hypnotic journey into Eastern spirituality that soothes as much as it inspires. On the title track, which follows, Bernard's instrumentation takes a turn toward the East with synthesizer-enhanced sitars laced with the chant "Om Mani Padme Hum."

ATLANTIS ANGELIS is a genre classic and should not be missed.

I first purchased this wonderful piece of meditation music in the mid 1990's whilst in Glastonbury. It has been one of my favourite pieces of music ever since.
